The Discworld Atlas

Sorry if this isn't the right place to post about this!

Amazon UK link

Coming October 8, 2015. Book Depository's note for it says it'll be "Fully illustrated throughout".

Perfectly fine to post it here. Thanks for the info - it's the first I've heard of it.

The last time I heard about it was at Hogwatch 2013 from Ian.

I think I chatted to Ian about it (during a panel, and also afterwards) at the UK DWCon last year. He and Bernard showed off some of the illustrations done by Peter Dennis.

I'd never heard of this - I thought Pterry said this would never come out, because having geography nailed down like this would limit what he could write?

At least, I remember reading that he said that before "The Streets of Ankh-Morpork" came out...

(And yes, I do own TSoAM, as well as "A Tourist Guide to Lancre", "Death's Domain", "The Discworld Mapp"... sigh. What can I say - gee, I'm a nerd). :ugeek:

@RathDarkblade you haven't got The Compleat Ankh-Morpork yet? That's a much more detailed updated A-M Map... and the Atlas will be a much more detailed updated Discworld Mappe.

 

[RathDarkblade]

Molokov, yes - I do have The Compleat Ankh-Morpork. However, I haven't looked at it in a long while... I mostly bought it for the "explanatory notes", not to look at the map itself (which - without the "explanatory notes" - probably wouldn't make much sense).

But then, I suppose maps like these are for people to play RPGs on, yes?

Or to put on Mappe tables

This is the 2nd mappe I'm on - the 1st one got badly faded in the conservatory...

I'm on the mailing list and I'm a professional memeber of the Royal Geographic Society ( Hopefully I'll get full accreditation later this year) so I' ve had a look or two. I went to the fair two years ago. My suitcase wasnt big enough.

But the plastic took a battering and survived the onslaught.
