Product Description
The Post Office: this musty, dusty and sh***y organisation was jolted back into life in GOING POSTAL. Hidebound and rulebound, the Post Office is creaking towards a brave new world of efficiency - and it may even deliver the mail, too. But like all bureaucracies, the Ankh-Morpork Post Office has its rules and regulations and these, together with the history of this once-great department, are highlighted and parodied in the Ankh-Morpork Post Office Handbook. How do you send eggs through the Post Office? What size envelope is banned? And what happens when snails start eating the mail? It's all here in the Ankh-Morpork Post Office Handbook and Diary 2007. * that's of the pigeon guano type, of course.

Discworld Diary: Post Office Handbook, Mar 8 2009
By draegonflye - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Ankh Morpork Post Office Handbook 2007 (Hardcover)
For anyone not familiar with the Discworld Diary series, it is actually a diary... so most of the pages are blank, with tidbits of information about characters involved in the post office on each page, and a short history of the post office and its characters. If you're a huge discworld fan, you'll enjoy the extras, but if you're looking for a book to read, this is not what you want.
