The Last Hero: A Discworld Fable by Terry Pratchett Illustrated by Paul Kidby (Hardback)
Condition: Very good
He’s been a legend in his own lifetime. He can remember when a hero didn’t have to worry about fences and lawyers and civilisation, and when people didn’t tell you off for killing dragons. But he can’t always remember, these days, where he put his teeth …So now, with his ancient sword and his new walking stick and his old friends — and they’re very old friends — Cohen the Barbarian is going on one final quest. He’s going to climb the highest mountain in the Discworld and meet his gods. The last hero in the world is going to return what the first hero stole. With a vengeance. That’ll mean the end of the world, if no one stops him in time.
A new Discworld story is always an event. Terry Pratchett’s The Last Hero is unusually short, a 40,000-word “Discworld Fable” rather than a full novel, but is illustrated throughout in sumptuous colour by Paul Kidby. The 160 pages cover the series’ longest and most awesome (but still comic) journey yet.

Reaper Man (A Discworld Novel) by Terry Pratchett (Paperback)

The Fifth Elephant (A Discworld Novel) by Terry Pratchett (Paperback)
Condition: Fair, wear on covers
They say that the fifth elephant came screaming and trumpeting through the atmosphere of the young world all those years ago and landed hard enough to split continents and raise mountains. No one actually saw it land, which raised the interesting philosophical question: when millions of tons of angry elephant come spinning through the sky, and there is no one to hear it, does it–philosophically speaking–make a noise? As for the dwarfs, whose legend it is, and who mine a lot deeper than other people, they say that there is a grain of truth in it.

Guards! Guards! (A Discworld Novel) by Terry Pratchett (Paperback)
Condition: Very good
Here there be dragons…and the denizens of Ankh-Morpork wish one huge firebreather would return from whence it came. Long believed extinct, a superb specimen of draco nobilis (noble dragon for those who don’t understand italics) has appeared in Discworld’s greatest city. Not only does this unwelcome visitor have a nasty habit of charbroiling everything in its path, in rather short order it is crowned King (it is a noble dragon, after all…).

Pyramids (A Discworld Novel) by Terry Pratchett (Paperback)
Condition: Very good
Being trained by the Assassin’s Guild in Ankh-Morpork did not fit Teppic for the task assigned to him by fate. He inherited the throne of the desert kingdom of Djelibeybi rather earlier than he expected (his father wasn’t too happy about it either), but that was only the beginning of his problems… Pyramids (the book of going forth) is the seventh Discworld novel – and the most outrageously funny to date.

Condition: Very good
When last seen, the singularly inept wizard Rincewind had fallen off the edge of the world. Now magically, he’s turned up again, and this time he’s brought the Luggage. But that’s not all…Once upon a time, there was an eighth son of an eighth son who was, of course, a wizard. As if that wasn’t complicated enough, said wizard then had seven sons. And then he had an eighth son — a wizard squared (that’s all the math, really). Who of course, was a source of magic — a sorcerer.

Wyrd Sisters (A Discworld Novel) by Terry Pratchett (Paperback)
Condition: Good
Witches are not by nature gregarious, and they certainly don’t have leaders. Granny Weatherwax was the most highly-regarded of the leaders they didn’t have. But even she found that meddling in royal politics was a lot more difficult than certain playwrights would have you believe. Wyrd Sisters is the sixth novel in the Discworld sequence – the funniest fantasy series ever.

MOVING PICTURES, THE TENTH DISCWORLD NOVEL IS A GLORIOUSLY FUNNY SAGA SET AGAINST THE BACKGROUND OF A WORLD GONE MAD!

Equal Rites (A Discworld Novel) by Terry Pratchett (Paperback)
Condition: Very good
Terry Pratchett’s profoundly irreverent novels, consistent number one bestsellers in England, have garnered him a revered position in the halls of parody along with Mark Twain, Kurt Vonnegut, Douglas Adams, and Carl Hiaasen.
In Equal Rites, a dying wizard tries to pass on his powers to an eighth son of an eighth son, who is just at that moment being born. The fact that the son is actually a daughter is discovered just a little too late. . . .

But what he gets is Rincewind, and Rincewind’s Luggage into the bargain. Terry Pratchett’s hilarious take on the Faust legend stars many of the Discworld’s most popular characters in an outrageous adventure that will leave Eric wishing once more this time, quite fervently, that he’d never been born . . .

Magician’s Gambit by David Eddings (paperback)
Ce’Nedra, Imperial Princess of Tolnedra, was confused.
Everyone knew that the tales of the Orb that protected the West from the evil God Torak were just silly legends. But here she was, forced to join a serious and dangerous quest to recover that stolen Orb. No one believed in sorcery. Yet Garion’s aunt and grandfather seemed to be the fabled sorcerers Polgara and Belgarath, who would have to be thousands of years old. Even young Garion was learning to do things that could only be sorcery.
Garion! He was nothing but a farm boy, totally unsuitable for an Imperial Princess. Then why does she have such an urge to teach him, to brush his tangled hair, and to comfort him?
Now he was going to a strange tower in the centre of all he believed evil, to face some horrible, powerful magician. And she wouldn’t be there to watch over him. He might be killed! She’d never see him again…
