Terry Pratchett's profoundly irreverent novels are consistent number one bestsellers in England, where they have garnered him a revered position in the halls of parody next to Mark Twain, Kurt Vonnegut, Douglas Adams, and Carl Hiaasen.The Color of Magic is Terry Pratchett's maiden voyage through the now-legendary land of Discworld. This is where it all begins--with the tourist Twoflower and his wizard guide, Rincewind.

July 30, 2023 Edited by Freso This is linked to https://archive.org/details/colourofmagic00prat so making the data provided here actually reflect https://archive.org/details/colourofmagic00prat and not… whatever it was before. I don’t know where the 205 page count comes from, for one. Also, the IA item has "Edition" set to "[Pbk ed.]." where the linked Goodreads edition is a hardcover, so I removed the Goodreads link too, for now, until I can either figure out that IA has it wrong or GR does.
