Talk:Book:Mrs Bradshaw's Handbook

This is an interesting miscellany and adds a lot of small pertinent detail to the Discworld, or at least to the Sto Plains. I'm impressed: a lot more of it reads as if it directly originated with Pterry than I thought. It doesn't appear to be ghost-written, or not very much. Or else it's done by somebody who has the Terry P style off down to 98% accuracy.

It's punctuated with nice drawings which offer a different artist's perspective on the Discworld and Discworld characters and types. I'd say I'm not too happy with the way Goblins tend to be drawn as smaller humans with pointier ears. You'd expect them to be a bit more other than that. And an "alpine" hiker with a strange resemblence to one Adolf Hitler appears on page 138, in the middle of a group of determined and intent hikers of the Wheelwright persuasion. (nice touch!) Illustrations by Peter Dennis.

You also get a lot of those faux-Victorian/Edwardina advertisements for goods and services that appear in The Compleat Ankh-Morpork, which is welcome. I think I'm going to like this book - there's a lot more between its covers than you'd expect at first glance! AgProv (talk) 23:01, 27 November 2014 (UTC)
