The book I purchased as very good (and I'm picky) was like new at a price that was low enough to cause doubt as to the quality. I am pleasently shocked, and very impressed.

The discworld diary and yearbook (actually more of a yearly planner, with special 10-15 page introduction to the guild its representing)range from 1998-2003; this being the 2001 edition. It comes with a pretty ribbon book marker, and lots of quotes and fun facts about the guild. And don't forget those great Paul Kidby illustrations. If you like this one, you can get the 2002 and 2003 discworld diaries off of the Amazon UK website, along with other Terry Pratchett goods they don't offer here. The diaries go in order of 1998 Unseen University Yearbook, 1999 Ank-Morpork City Watch Yearbook (I really love the drawings of Sam Vimes a true coper's face!), 2000 Assassins Guild Yearbook, 2001 Fool's Guild Yearbook, 2002 Thieves' Guild Yearbook and 2003 Vampires Yearbook (sort of a vampires Alnon). What is really enjoyable about each yearbook is that they have an introduction from the head of the Guild, such as this one from Mr. Whiteface pictured on the cover. Surprise a freind who likes Terry Pratchett; these are the perfect stocking stuffers and so rare and unsual (like the Discworld music CD, or 4 video games) that they are really worth it! May you live in Intresting Times.

The discworld yearly diaries are a lot of fun for the discworld fans and this diary is no exception. The pathetic nature of the fool's existence becomes understandable when your discover the "other" portion of a fools duties. (See Court Jesters)

The illustrations are at the same high standard and I love these explorations into the minutia of the various guilds.

Always buy these as they become available, cause when they are gone, they are gone.
