The final of the Victor Gollancz Discworld Diary endeavors is dedicated to the man himself instead of a particular guild (and a small part of me will always be sad I'll never see a Seamstresses' Guild Diary but such is life, eh?).



Unfortunately, I don't know if it's due to the memorandum (so somber) nature of the diary, but it's the plainest one yet. I complained about last year's being pretty bare bones but this one has a very small illustration every other page and a random Discworld quote at t

The final of the Victor Gollancz Discworld Diary endeavors is dedicated to the man himself instead of a particular guild (and a small part of me will always be sad I'll never see a Seamstresses' Guild Diary but such is life, eh?).



Unfortunately, I don't know if it's due to the memorandum (so somber) nature of the diary, but it's the plainest one yet. I complained about last year's being pretty bare bones but this one has a very small illustration every other page and a random Discworld quote at the bottom of every second page. Not entirely worth the price of admission.



The real draw here, for me at least, is reading the tributes each writer or artist has contributed to the diary, with a few people having longer tributes (his daughter obviously, Neil Gaiman, and Rob Wilkins have the longest ones) and some having shorter ones. These tributes talk about the connections each person had with Pratchett or how they worked together.



Unless you're an avid Discworld/Pratchett fan, I'd advise against running out and immediately picking this one up, plus, as you can see up top, this diary is planned to be a perennial one, so, yeah, unless you're a collector, take your time.
