Terry Pratchett Appraisal

The Discworld Mapp

This item is a paperback promotional booklet or map companion for Terry Pratchett's 'Discworld' fantasy series, titled 'The Discworld Mapp: Being the Onlie True & Mostlie Accurate Mappe of the Fantasyk & Magical Dyscworlde.' The publication is credited to Terry Pratchett and Stephen Briggs. Physically, the item features a pale green/yellow colored cover with black illustrative line work and typography. The central illustration depicts Great A'Tuin, the giant world-turtle, carrying four elephants that support the flat Discworld. The cover typography uses a stylized, quasi-archaic font consistent with the series' humorous tone. Regarding condition, there is visible wear along the edges of the cover, particularly 'edge-wear' and slight creasing around the corners and spine. There appears to be some minor tanning or discoloration consistent with age and the quality of the paper stock used. The item is likely from the mid-1990s (the original edition was released in 1995). The craftsmanship is typical of mass-produced literary ephemera, using standard binding and mid-range paper quality. Despite the surface wear, the graphics remain clear and the structural integrity seems intact for a used collectible.
