Updated with all the series titles up through 2011's Snuff, this encyclopedia of all things Discworld is a treat for Pratchett fans. Arranged alphabetically, with long entries for important people and places from the novels as well as short ones for minor characters and events of note, this volume has a surprisingly robust amount of cross-references as well as citations to all appearances in the books. VERDICT Written with much of the same humor and wit as Pratchett's fantasies, the guide will be a boon for readers unable to keep the details of the long series at the tips of their fingers. Owing to his health issues (Pratchett has been open with his diagnosis of early-onset Alzheimer's), fans should be pleased that new books keep arriving from the author, who was knighted by Queen Elizabeth in 2008. [Coming in June from Anchor Books is The Science of Discworld by Pratchett with Ian Stewart and Jack Cohen; first published in Britain in 1999, this volume, which mixes the Discworld story with the history of the universe, will be available here for the first time.--Ed.]
