The Compleat Ankh-Morpork: City Guide is a highly celebrated, premium world-building companion piece to Sir Terry Pratchett’s iconic Discworld universe. Originally published in November 2012 by Doubleday, this beautifully formatted, mock-Victorian book serves as the definitive street directory and travel gazetteer for the sprawling, chaotic, and heavily odorous city-state of Ankh-Morpork.
Co-created alongside the cartographic experts at the Discworld Emporium, it is an heavily expanded and updated version of Pratchett's earlier 1993 map book, The Streets of Ankh-Morpork.
What is Included in the Guide
Written with Pratchett's trademark satirical wit and dry British humor, the book treats the reader as an actual tourist or newly arrived adventurer navigating the city's streets:
• The Massive Pull-Out Map: The true centerpiece of the package is a giant, double-sided, 95 x 85 cm fold-out map. One side details every single street, cut, and alleyway from the Unseen University to the treacherous Shades. The reverse features a gorgeous, fully illustrated aerial artwork view of the metropolis.
• The Street Gazetteer: A comprehensive index listing major landmarks, local taverns, inns, hotels, and obscure locations like the Dwarf Bread Museum in Whirligig Alley.
• Guild & Institutional Directories: Hilarious, in-universe breakdowns of the city's legendary infrastructure, including the Thieves' Guild, the Assassins' Guild, and the City Watch.
• Period Advertisements: The book is stuffed with immersive, comical print ads from the city's notable vendors, such as the notorious street-entrepreneur C.M.O.T. Dibbler.
