Apparently the cost of production was high so the printing error that required Maskerade to be redone may have killed them off. The Unseen Library editions were initially very popular – the run for The Colour of Magic was 7000 copies – but the series ran out of steam with the final release, Maskerade, running to only 3000. On the other hand, Kidby’s work constitutes brand new art for these novels, which is interesting. Great as these volumes are, when one thinks of Discworld art one thinks of the riotous covers designed by the original Pratchett illustrator, Josh Kirby, and I could understand someone favouring the orginal hardbacks. The endpapers feature colour maps of Discworld and the covers a tipped in image by Paul Kidby.Īt this point we may lose some of you. Bound in quarter leather, with lavish gilt and using high quality paper. These deluxe volumes were published in batches by BCA, starting in 2001, often coinciding with the release of a new Pratchett novel. A short lived attempt to produce special, collectable copies of these beloved books. Here’s the Unseen Library Editions of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld novels.
