Synopsis
In an attempt to have three wishes granted--to be immortal, to rule the world, and to have the world's most beautiful woman fall in love with him--Eric, an inept demonologist, summons up Rincewind, the universe's most incompetent wizard, to help him.

Reviews
The latest in Pratchett's Discworld series plays a variation on the Faust theme. Eric is a singularly inept sorcerer who conjures up an even more inept wizard, Rincewind, and a sentient (also treacherous, vindictive, and unruly) footlocker named, of course, the Luggage. Not having got anything like what he bargained for, Eric is fated to go through the usual zany ordeals of a Pratchett protagonist, until he wishes he'd never been born. Nor do things really all work out in the end, even if Eric is better off than he expected to be through most of the book. The Discworld books are building a following that is beginning to resemble that of Piers Anthony's Xanth stories, although it can be said that Pratchett is rather more sophisticated than Anthony. In any case, there should be a lot of readers for this one. Fantasy collections, provide accordingly. Roland Green

Seller: NorWester, PORTLAND, OR, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. Stated first ROC printing of beloved Pratchet comic fantasy is far from perfect -- dog-eared corner and crease on back cover, stress marks to spine, stray pen mark along title page -- but, overall, interior pages are unmarked and bright, cover colors are bright, and bindings remain enviably tight. Very good condiiton. See photos. Seller Inventory # ABE-1768967001099
