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.

Even with the help of Granny Weatherwax and the Nac Mac Feegle - the fightin', thievin' pictsies who are prepared to lay down their lives for their 'big wee hag' ...

Released October 1 2006    Unseen University Cut Out Book

The Unseen University sits in the centre of Discworld's greatest city, Ankh-Morpork. Some would say it is the very heart of the city. Ancient and magical, it is the home to the greatest library in the multiverse and the oldest building on the Discworld, the soaring Tower of Art. Enjoy the challenge of making all seven buildings and seeing the complete Unseen University literally unfold before your eyes. It is created in perfect detail by renowned illustrator and modelmaker, Alan Batley, from the original sculpture of the University by Discworld Artist Bernard Pearson. This title includes a foreword by Terry Pratchett. Simple tools, patience, and a good pot of glue are all that is required to create this masterpiece. With comprehensive and easy-to-follow instructions throughout, this title is suitable for all from 10 up, including the adult serious model maker.
