The complete guide to the city of Ankh-Morpork and its wealth of guilds, entertainments, and activities. Released in November 2012, the publishers' blurb runs:-

'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.'


Ankh-Morpork! City of One Thousand Surprises (according to the famous publication by the Guild of Merchants)! All human life is here! Although, if it walks down the wrong alley, often quite briefly!


This is the city celebrated in Terry Pratchett's bestselling Discworld series as you've never seen it before. A stunning map and comprehensive street directory covering each and every district from Unseen University to the Shades, major landmarks like the Patrician's Palace to little-known, er, nooks like Dwarf Bread Museum in Whirligig Alley. See the notorious establishments and famous streets along which so many heroes have walked, in some cases quite hurriedly.


As leading Ankh-Morpork entrepreneur CMOT Dibbler would say, 'A snip at any price - and that's cutting our own throat. Well, close.'

The book nominally retails at £23 sterling, but most retailers are putting a big discount on it.

And there is an updated and fully revised version of the "Streets of Ankh-Morpork", with directory, included in the package. Lots and lots and lots of previously un-named streets and places of interest, together with places not fully realised at the time of the first Mapp, such as the Lady Sybil Free Hospital.
