About this Item

The Fifth Elephant by Terry Pratchett is the twenty-fourth novel in the Discworld series and the fifth to feature Commander Sam Vimes of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch. Dispatched as a reluctant diplomat to the distant and treacherous kingdom of �berwald, Vimes finds himself navigating dwarf politics, werewolf aristocracy, and conspiracy at the highest levels, all while trying to make it home alive. A tightly plotted and hugely entertaining entry in the Watch sequence, The Fifth Elephant showcases Pratchett at his most confident, blending thriller pacing with his characteristic wit and moral intelligence.

This copy is a first edition, first printing, published by Doubleday (a division of Transworld Publishers) in 1999, with ISBN 0385 409990. The book is in very good to near fine condition, with a firm binding and clean, unmarked pages. The dust jacket, with its striking Josh Kirby illustration, presents very well, with only light handling wear. The jacket is protected in a mylar cover.

A desirable first edition of a key Watch novel, in excellent all-round condition.

Store Description

I began selling books as a way to share my love and passion for collecting books with other people. I enjoy hunting for special editions, completing sets or building out a library of particular authors. The selling to me, is as enjoyable as the collecting itself. What started as a side project has since grown into a genuine passion for sourcing, researching, and sharing collectible books with fellow readers and collectors. I?m especially drawn to rare and interesting editions, first printings, and the satisfaction of completing author runs or series. Every book I list is handled with the same care and curiosity I?d want for my own shelves. I?m a strong believer in transparency. I photograph books from every angle so you know exactly what you?re getting ? no surprises, no vague descriptions. I also take pride in careful packaging and presentation, because receiving a book should feel like part of the experience, not just a transaction. I?m always happy to chat about listings, bundles, shipping options, or anything else ? and can almost always make something work. Don?t hesitate to reach out with questions or requests.
