Cue Moist von Lipwig, Postmaster General and former con artist. If anyone can rescue the city's ailing financial institution, it's him. He doesn't really want the job, but the thing is, he doesn't have a choice. Moist has many problems to solve as part of his new role: the chief cashier is almost certainly a vampire, the chairman needs his daily walkies, there's something strange happening in the cellar, and the Royal Mint is running at a loss. Moist begins making some ambitious changes . . . and some dangerous enemies. Because money is power and certain stakeholders will do anything to keep a firm grip on both . . . Making Money is the second book in the Industrial Revolution series, but you can read the Discworld novels in any order.

Kultklassiker om hvor galt det kan gå når selveste Antikrist ender opp hos en helt gjennomsnittlig middelklassefamilie. Endelig på norsk!

From the legendary Terry Pratchett, the author of Discworld, the third instalment in the Johnny Maxwell Trilogy --------------------- THIS TIME .

From the legendary Terry Pratchett, the author of Discworld, the second instalment in the Johnny Maxwell Trilogy---------------------Sell the cemetery? Over their dead bodies . . . Not many people can see the dead (not many would want to). Twelve-year-old Johnny Maxwell can. And he's got bad news for them: the council want to sell the cemetery as a building site. But the dead have learnt a thing or two from Johnny. They're not going to take it lying down . . . especially since it's Halloween tomorrow. Besides, they're beginning to find that life is a lot more fun than it was when they were . . . well . . . alive. Particularly if they break a few rules . . .

Even wizards produce leftovers. But a wizardâ??s rubbish is laced with magic, and for the rats that forage this rubbish, the magic has changed them â?? they can speak and read, and have rather grand ambitions for a comfortable retirement. Which is perfect for a con-cat like Maurice.

This is the first book in the Johnny Maxwell trilogy. Johnny Maxwell is just an ordinary boy â?? not smart, popular or rich. But he does love video games. And as his parents argue themselves out of a marriage, Johnny plays at becoming humanityâ??s last hope, shooting invading aliens out of a pixelated sky.

A beautiful new hardback edition of the classic Discworld novel. Moist von Lipwig is a con artist and a fraud and a man faced with a life choice: be hanged, or put Ankh-Morpork's ailing postal service back on its feet. It was a tough decision.

And on Discworld that is the job of the Monks of History, who store it and pump it from the places where it's wasted (like underwater - how much time does a codfish need?) to places like cities, where there's never enough time.

Commander Sam Vimes of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch had it all. But now he's back in his own rough, tough past without even the clothes he was standing up in when the lightning struck... Living in the past is hard.

A beautiful new hardback edition of the classic Discworld novel. Polly Perks had to become a boy in a hurry. Learning to fart and belch in public and walk like an ape took more time . . And now she's enlisted in the army, and searching for her lost brother. But there's a war on.
