Summary
Think you know Ankh-Morpork？ Think again。
In this top-secret guide， travellers will receive a first-hand experience of the real city。 If you've ever wondered where Unseen University students wet their whistles （while managing to avoid their teachers doing the same）， or exactly what the Assassins' Guild constitutes a true and proper means of inhumation - there are standards to be upheld， after all - then this is the book for you。
Just don't let the Thieves' Guild catch you with this。 They won't appreciate their methods being flogged behind their back。 Flogging's their job， after all。
Completely revamped and redesigned， this full-colour book contains material from Discworld Diaries across the decades。
The book is a compilation of the texts written by Terry Pratchett and Stephen Briggs for the Unseen University， Assassins Guild， Post Office and Thieves Guild diaries。 They have been redesigned and formatted into one deluxe digitally re-mastered compendium to showcase the illustrations in large size and the diary element has been removed。

Och， chytá ma nostalgia！ Absolútne skvelý dodatok k Zeměplošským knihám。 Dozvieme sa niečo o čarodejníkoch na Neviditeľnej univerzite， o Cechu vrahov， zlodejov a poštovom úrade。 Rozhodne odporúčam zarytým fanúšikom Zeměplochy！ Bolo to skvelé， vtipné a ešte aj poučné čítanie， nehovoriac o krásnych kresbách。

Thank you to my hubby for giving me this one for my birthday！ EEP！ I just love Terry Pratchett and the world he created: Discworld。 This one collects material from the Discworld Diaries， items I never could really get here so I missed out on that。 But thankfully they are now making books full with the materials and this one is the first！ In this one we meet various guilds， the UU （Unseen University）， we meet good guys and bad guys， we learn local lingo， we see gorgeous art， we see chats before e Thank you to my hubby for giving me this one for my birthday！ EEP！ I just love Terry Pratchett and the world he created: Discworld。 This one collects material from the Discworld Diaries， items I never could really get here so I missed out on that。 But thankfully they are now making books full with the materials and this one is the first！ In this one we meet various guilds， the UU （Unseen University）， we meet good guys and bad guys， we learn local lingo， we see gorgeous art， we see chats before each chapter between Stephen Briggs and Paul Kidby along with a quote from Terry Pratchett。 The book was really a ton of fun reading and I just couldn't stop。 Sadly， I had to stop last night as I was too tired， but I read on as soon as I woke up。 I need the second volume and I do hope that more books are coming！ 。。。more

Na takové to pozdně večerní listování。。。Kniha je směřována vyloženě na jádro zeměplošských fanoušků， bez nějaké ucelené linky je to opravdu jen vzpomínání a doplnění informací pro čtenáře hlavní řady knih。 Zpracování je moc hezké， člověk má z listování radost， větší ilustrace potěší （i když pro fanoušky díla Paula Kidbyho doporučuji spíše barevné Výtvarné umění Zeměplochy）， stejně jako některé dobře mířené vtípky。 Něco tomu ale k dokonalosti chybí。。。 To něco， co bylo ve velmi povedené části o Ce Na takové to pozdně večerní listování。。。Kniha je směřována vyloženě na jádro zeměplošských fanoušků， bez nějaké ucelené linky je to opravdu jen vzpomínání a doplnění informací pro čtenáře hlavní řady knih。 Zpracování je moc hezké， člověk má z listování radost， větší ilustrace potěší （i když pro fanoušky díla Paula Kidbyho doporučuji spíše barevné Výtvarné umění Zeměplochy）， stejně jako některé dobře mířené vtípky。 Něco tomu ale k dokonalosti chybí。。。 To něco， co bylo ve velmi povedené části o Cechu vrahů - skryté žertíky， running joky apod。 Poštovní a zlodějská část jsou se svou kvalitou v závěsu， Neviditelná univerzita pak spíše zklamala a očividně šlo o rozjezd tehdejších diářů （ze kterých informace a ilustrace pochází）。。。 。。。more

Kiedy nie ma juz ksiązek Pratchetta do przeczytania to pozostają takie rzeczy。 Zasadniczo zbiór rysunków i notatek o lore Dysku wybranych z terminarzy

It is always fun to read about the inner-workings of AM。

Entertaining selection of snippets。 Not a coherent whole but that doesn't matter。 It does have some really annoying typos， including a missing footnote。。。 Entertaining selection of snippets。 Not a coherent whole but that doesn't matter。 It does have some really annoying typos， including a missing footnote。。。 。。。more

nothing really new of course， since it all stems from various sources I already own， like the diaries bur a very nice package which still makes me laugh out loud and brings sadness due to loss of such a brilliant man coming all too soon

Terry Pratchett est mort， et c'est très triste。Pour supporter ça， l'Atalante publie ces archives， qui regroupent des textes plutôt marrants sur des institutions sociales centrales d'Ankh-Morpokh l'université invisible， la guilde des assassins， celle des voleurs et enfin la fameuse poste。Comme je le disais， les textes sont marrants， et les illustrations sont franchement belles。 Donc c'est un beau et bon livre 。。。 à réserver toutefois aux fans du Disque-Monde 。。。 et aux maîtres de jeu de rôle qui Terry Pratchett est mort， et c'est très triste。Pour supporter ça， l'Atalante publie ces archives， qui regroupent des textes plutôt marrants sur des institutions sociales centrales d'Ankh-Morpokh l'université invisible， la guilde des assassins， celle des voleurs et enfin la fameuse poste。Comme je le disais， les textes sont marrants， et les illustrations sont franchement belles。 Donc c'est un beau et bon livre 。。。 à réserver toutefois aux fans du Disque-Monde 。。。 et aux maîtres de jeu de rôle qui voudraient se lancer dans l'univers de Pratchett。 。。。more

Paul Kidby is my favourite illustrator。 The witty writing brought me straight back to the Discworld again。 Really enjoyed it and will buy volume 2。

Why was Moist Von Lipwig not mentioned in the postal service section？ And where was the section on the City Watch？？

Not read the diaries before but apparantly most of this info is lifted from them。Some of it is still amusing， but as a collection it falls a little flat for me。Nice idea， and the hardback does seem flimsy on the binding。

It's nice to dip back into the weirdness of Ankh-Morpork。 This book collects material from the Discworld Diaries， which are beautiful and hilarious but really don't work for me as calendars。 So the Ankh-Morpork Archives are a good collection if you want the material but don't want to use the calendar。 It's nice to dip back into the weirdness of Ankh-Morpork。 This book collects material from the Discworld Diaries， which are beautiful and hilarious but really don't work for me as calendars。 So the Ankh-Morpork Archives are a good collection if you want the material but don't want to use the calendar。 。。。more

This is all the bits from four of the diaries so if you didn’t get the diaries this is a great way of reading the material。
