The Illustrated Guards! Guards!

A wonderful edition of a fantastic story. I've always found it wonderful how Terry Pratchett took elements of classic fantasy and made a story that both incorporates those elements and makes something wholly unique. Worth a place in any library, even those whose librarians don't say 'Ook!'

A must for the Vimesophile &/or Watch enthusiast.

I love all things Discworld, but this was a bit disappointing. Aside from the obvious damage pictured above, I expected cloth binding with a jacket for this price. The illustrations are nice, but not numerous. I would probably keep it if not for the damage. The rating does not reflect the damage, just the quality of the book.

Was gift for son in law he was thrilled lovely addition beautiful illustrations

If you like beautiful books then this illustrated edition of a Terry Pratchett classic should really catch your eye!I have loved this book since I first read it, a long time ago. Like all Discworld novels, it manages to both turn the world upside down, while also making sense of it, and all the while allowing you to laugh. Gaurds, Guards first introduced us to Vimes, Lady Ramkin, Carrot, Nobby, Colon, et al! Not to mention an indept exploration of the Patrician and his mind! The plot is hilarious, the characters are both comic and tragic. I always suspected Pratchett was guilty of "liteature" and this novel is sited as evidence to that case.This edition comes replete with beautiful illustrations, that unlike the recent TV series, remain true to the story in tone, style and content. For me, I could look at the drawings all day long, and still notice little touches that are both intelligent and creative.So, if you like beautiful books then this is a worthy addition to any collection.

Fast service and great item
