Editor's Notes and Comments:

Product Description:
This discworld map reveals the house and garden that Death built. It shows the golf course that's not so much crazy as insane, as well as the dark gardens. You can also find out the reason why Death can't understand rockeries, and what happens to garden gnomes.




Customer Reviews
User popularity level: out of 5 stars

Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Fascinating
Normally I like to imagine the scenes in my mind, but the incredible drawings of DiscWorld and Death's Domain make this a wonderful addition to the books. Recommend.


Rated by buyers 3 out of 5 stars - Discworld Mapp
This goes right along with the other maps of Pratchett's Discworld Series. not necessarily a must have, but a good thing for the Discworld fan.


Rated by buyers 3 out of 5 stars - The weakest of the Discworld Mapps published so far
I have very mixed feelings about this Mapp. I bought it because it's Discworld, and a serious Discworld fan like me will want to have this in their collection regardless of what rating it gets!

Nevertheless, compared to the other Mapps (The Streets of Ankh-Morpork, The Discworld Mapp and A Tourist Guide to Lancre) it's not quite up to par.

True, the Mapp itself is gorgeous and there are some nifty pencil drawings inside the book (some of which can however also be found in The Art of Discworld). And there is some really funny dialogue between Albert and his master about playing golf...

But mostly, this Mapp is rather boring. Unlike the others, it just doesn't add much to the Discworld series.
The books describe the INSIDE of Death's house in much detail but the Mapp focuses on the outside of it only - which looks like an areal picture of any old manor and grounds. OK, with less purple and more purple/black, but other than that...

We now know the exact location of Death's bee hives and where the stables are - but so what? Who really cares? We also learn where Death built Susan's swing but we can't actually see what it looks like, it's just a dot in the trees. The wheat field is just a patch of orange in the distance. And then there are lots of frankly boring additions that AFAIK have never been mentioned in the books (The Pointy Tree Avenue? The Wood of Silence? The Gazebo? Give me a break...)

In short, there is just not much CONTENT. What is shown isn't bad, I just think that a plan and images of the INSIDE should really have been included as well.

Yet as it is, the steep price should make many Discworld fans wonder: do I really need this? My recommendation for casual fans is to spend the money on a Discworld novel instead...


Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Neat little novelty
This thing is like a book, it has a few pages discribing Death's domain. But what's really neat is that is has a huge fold out map of the entire world that Death lives in. It's so cool! It filled up a very good size portion of my wall and is really neat to walk in to see. It's got nice artwrok and everything. Even if you've never read the discworld series it's nice to have. Actually it kind'a made me want to read some of the discworld books.


Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - inimitable pratchett
As is usual any addendum to the Discworld series is an asset to any collection.Deaths Domain gives a whole new perspective to your imagination.You have in print what until now has only been in your minds eye.
An excellent piece of work on the part of the artistand author.
