A beautiful clothbound edition of Sir Terry Pratchett’s essay on why we all deserve a life worth living and a death worth dying forWith an updated Introduction by Rob Wilkins‘Most men don’t fear death. They fear those things – the knife, the shipwreck, the illness, the bomb – which precede, by microseconds if you’re lucky, and many years if you’re not, the moment of death.’When Terry Pratchett was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in his fifties he was angry - not with death but with the disease that would take him there, and with the suffering disease can cause when we are not allowed to put an end to it.In this essay, broadcast to millions as the BBC Richard Dimbleby Lecture, he argues for our right to choose – our right to a good life, and a good death too.

"Outlandish fun. . . . Making Money balances satire, knockabout farce and close observation of human--and non-human--foibles with impressive dexterity and deceptive ease. The result is another ingenious entertainment from the preeminent comic fantasist of our time."--Washington PostThe hero of Going Postal has an even more dangerous job than the mail: overseeing the tanking Royal Bank and the printing of Ankh-Morpork's first paper currency in this brilliant installment in New York Times bestselling author Sir Terry Pratchett's beloved Discworld series.The Royal Bank of Ankh-Morpork is facing a crisis, and who better to manage it than the man who turned around Ankh-Morpork's inefficient Post Office, former arch-swindler-turned-Postmaster General Moist von Lipwig. Lord Vetinari once again makes Moist an offer he can't refuse: resuscitate the venerable Royal Mint.The bank has many problems: the chief cashier is almost certainly a vampire, the elderly chairman and her two loaded crossbows needs a daily walkie, there's something strange happening in the cellar, and running the Royal Mint is costing a mint.As Moist begins to make some ambitious changes, he accrues some dangerous enemies. Everyone knows money is power--and certain stakeholders will do anything to keep a firm grip on both . . .The Discworld novels can be read in any order, but Making Money is the second book in the Moist von Lipwig series.

"Pratchett's books are almost always better than they have to be, and Going Postal is no exception, full of nimble wordplay, devious plotting and outrageous situations, but always grounded in an astute understanding of human nature."--San Francisco ChronicleA splendid send-up of government bureaucracy, corruption, the postal system, and everything in between in this ingenious entry in Sir Terry Pratchett's internationally bestselling Discworld series.By all rights, Arch-swindler Moist von Lipwig should be meeting his maker at the end of a noose. Instead, Lord Vetinari, supreme ruler of Ankh-Morpork, has made him the city's Postmaster General. Death may be preferable to fixing the Postal Service--a creaky, outdated institution beset by eccentric employees, mountains of old, undelivered mail Moist swears is talking to him, and a dangerous secret order. To restore the postal service to its former glory, Moist accepts the help of the tough talking and very attractive activist Adora Belle Dearheart.But to succeed, Moist must overcome two formidable foes--new technology and the greedy chairman of a communication monopoly who will stop at nothing to delay Ankh-Morpork's post for good . . .The Discworld novels can be read in any order, but Going Postal is the first book in the Moist von Lipwig series.
