The latest in the highly-successful series of Discworld diaries, featuring extensive original material by Terry Pratchett. The Thieves' Guild celebrates its 21st anniversary with its first Yearbook, featuring an address from Lord Vetinari himself, who encouraged the setting-up of the Guild to avoid the random, unfair and disorganised crime which, until his ascent to power, plagued the great city of Ankh-Morpork. Now crime is legal, organised and run to an annual budget and everyone is happy - well, almost everyone: woe betide the unlicensed thief, highwayman or slipperlegger who tries to do business without Guild approval! Stunningly illustrated, as in previous years, by Paul Kidby.

Discworld yearly planner,
By
This review is from: Discworld Fools' Guild Yearbook and Diary 2001 (Hardcover)
The discworld diary and yearbook (actually more of a yearly planner, with special 10-15 page introduction to the guild its representing)range from 1998-2003; this being the 2001 edition. It comes with a pretty ribbon book marker, and lots of quotes and fun facts about the guild. And don't forget those great Paul Kidby illustrations. If you like this one, you can get the 2002 and 2003 discworld diaries off of the Amazon UK website, along with other Terry Pratchett goods they don't offer here. The diaries go in order of 1998 Unseen University Yearbook, 1999 Ank-Morpork City Watch Yearbook (I really love the drawings of Sam Vimes a true coper's face!), 2000 Assassins Guild Yearbook, 2001 Fool's Guild Yearbook, 2002 Thieves' Guild Yearbook and 2003 Vampires Yearbook (sort of a vampires Alnon). What is really enjoyable about each yearbook is that they have an introduction from the head of the Guild, such as this one from Mr. Whiteface pictured on the cover. Surprise a freind who likes Terry Pratchett; these are the perfect stocking stuffers and so rare and unsual (like the Discworld music CD, or 4 video games) that they are really worth it! May you live in Intresting Times.

Collectors item,
This review is from: Discworld Thieves' Guild Yearbook & Diary 2002 (Hardcover)
by the time anyone is reading this this book is probably no longer being sold for under $200. If you don't know, the "diaries" are like year-planners with an informationthing at the beginning. not really worth paying for if your not a collector.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Not Just a place to note birthdays!,

This review is from: Discworld Fools' Guild Yearbook and Diary 2001 (Hardcover)
The discworld yearly diaries are a lot of fun for the discworld fans and this diary is no exception. The pathetic nature of the fool's existence becomes understandable when your discover the "other" portion of a fools duties. (See Court Jesters)The illustrations are at the same high standard and I love these explorations into the minutia of the various guilds. Always buy these as they become available, cause when they are gone, they are gone.
