'THERE'S A SAYING THAT ALL ROADS LEAD TO ANKH-MORPORK. AND IT'S WRONG. ALL ROADS LEAD AWAY FROM ANKH-MORPORK, BUT SOMETIMES PEOPLE JUST WALK ALONG THE WRONG WAY' from Moving Pictures Ankh-Morpork! City of One Thousand Surprises (according to the famous publication by the Guild of Merchants)! All human life is there! Although, if it walks down the wrong alley, often quite briefly! The city celebrated in the bestselling Discworld series by Terry Pratchett has been meticulously mapped for the first time. It's all here - from Unseen University to the Shades, from major landmarks like the Patrician's Palace to little-known, er, nooks like Dwarf Bread Museum in Whirligig Alley. See the famous streets along which so many heroes have walked, in some cases quite hurriedly! As leading Ankh-Morpork entrepreneur C.M.O.T. Dibbler would say, A nip at any price - and that's cutting our own throat. Well, close.

This is a Map of the City of Ankh Morkpork. If you have't heard of Ankh Morpork you're missing out on one of the best fantasy series ever (Discworld)! The Streets of Ankh Morpork includes a big map, I hung it on my wall, and a small booklet describing the map, and the locations on the map. The map is very detailed, with all major (and many not-so-major) streets identified, important parts of the city labeled, like the Shades, and lots of interesting illistrations around the borders. After reading the Discworld books centering on Ankh-Morpork, I found this map gave new life to the famous city that all roads lead away from.

with the exeption of Steven Briggs trying to be funny at the beginig of the pamphlet that comes with the map, this product is exxelent. I got the last copy that ships in 24 hours but order it anyway it is worth the wait. I disagree with the last review, this map doesnt hinder Ankh Morpork it gives it a whole new dimension! The pamphet is great, the map is great, the illustaions are great, the cover is great, GET THIS MAP BEFORE ITS TOO LATE AND NONE ARE IN STOCK! I WAS LUCKY, MAYBE YOU WILL BE TOO!!!!
