The Color of MagicM 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.

Review
The Colour of Magic is Terry Pratchett's maiden voyage through the bizarre land of Discworld. His entertaining and witty series has grown to more than 20 books, and this is where it all starts--with the tourist Twoflower and his hapless wizard guide, Rincewind ("All wizards get like that ... it's the quicksilver fumes. Rots their brains. Mushrooms, too."). Pratchett spoofs fantasy clichés--and everything else he can think of--while marshalling a profusion of characters through a madcap adventure. The Colour of Magic is followed by The Light Fantastic. --Blaise Selby

The Colour of Magic (Discworld) - GORGEOUS 1st PRINTING!
Seller: Barsoom Books, Torrance, CA, U.S.A.
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. 1st printing. Solid, square, perfect spine and sharp wraps. In a protective archival bag! Gorgeous, ridiculously nice copy. You'll feel as though you must have slipped the librarian a few scoops of ice cream to go with those particularly ripe bananas, to have been so lucky as to have scored a treasured tome of this quality youll be climbing the shelves of the library with wild abandon! In protective archival bag. NOTE: VERY light age-toning and nearly nonexistent rubs of edge-wear. An odd flaw: two small dabs of something - call it glue - were at one time deposited on the FFEP, and adhered the cover to the page. The two were separated later with no harm done to either the cover or the page, but there is a little residue left on both, dried decades back. Seller Inventory # 039958
