Pros

A+ - the hardback copies by gollancz, very high quality. The paper is a nice feel, the print is very good, the covers are a soft cotton.

The first book in terry pratchett's discworld series introduces us to the remarkably inept wizard rincewind. The story follows a tourist named twoflower as he sight-sees with a flunked out wizard as his guide. Finally, the luggage is.

Cons

Pratchett in this first discworld book feels discombobulated and forced. I swear the author has add/adhd and didn't take his meds while writing this book. This is the worst quality audio i’ve ever purchased!
