Reviews
"With his humor and endless invention, Terry Pratchett has rightly dominated the fantasy genre. The Truth shows that he is still the master. . . . Pratchett's imagination shows no signs of flagging. On the contrary, The Truth is an unmitigated delight and very, very funny." -- London Times "Pratchett's The Truth will set you free--and laughing. . . . If 'Dr. Who' had been conceived, written and performed by Monty Python's Flying Circus, the result might be something like 'Discworld.' . . . . [The Truth] sets its sights on an enduring institution, the news media, and skewers it. . . . Pratchett is a master at wordplay." -- CNN "The Discworld books are more like many-charactered, many-chaptered Dickens. . . . If you like Shakespeare, you'll love Wyrd Sisters. If you like comparative mythology you'll worship Pyramids. If you're into gothic romanticism you'll sink your teeth into Carpe Jugulum. I'm a hack, so I value The Truth." -- The Times (London) "A blistering satire on the press." -- The Guardian "Pratchett's witty reach is even longer than usual here, from Pulp Fiction to His Girl Friday. Readers who've never visited Discworld before may find themselves laughing out loud, even as they cheer on the good guys, while longtime fans are sure to call this Pratchett's best one yet." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review), "With his humor and endless invention, Terry Pratchett has rightly dominated the fantasy genre.

Synopsis
"Pratchett's The Truth will set you free--and laughing. . . . If 'Dr. Who' had been conceived, written and performed by Monty Python's Flying Circus, the result might be something like Discworld . . . . [ The Truth ] sets its sights on an enduring institution, the news media, and skewers it." -- CNN Ankh-Morpork gets its first newspaper, unleashing a war of words and a battle for the truth in this in this funny, wise, and prescient novel in Sir Terry Pratchett's internationally bestselling Discworld series. The Discworld has seen just about everything. Then comes the Ankh-Morpork Times , its first paper of record, edited by struggling scribe William de Worde, and staffed by a band of axe-wielding dwarfs and a recovering vampire with a life-threatening passion for flash photography. Reporting the news is a risky business. An ethical journalist, de Worde has a nasty habit of investigating stories that quickly create powerful enemies eager to stop his presses. And what better way than to start the Inquirer, a titillating tabloid that conveniently interchanges what's real for what sells. When de Worde gets a tip on a hot story concerning Ankh-Morpork's leading patrician, Lord Vetinari, all hell breaks loose, leaving the city without a leader. The facts say Lord Vetinari is guilty. But as William de Worde learns, facts don't always tell the whole story. There's that pesky little thing called . . . the truth. The Discworld novels can be read in any order but The Truth is a standalone., A war of words and a battle for the truth in Terry Pratchett's bestselling Discworld(R) series The denizens of Ankh-Morpork fancy they've seen just about everything.

An ethical journalist, de Worde has a proclivity for investigating stories--a nasty habit that soon creates powerful enemies eager to stop his presses. And what better way than to start the Inquirer , a titillating (well, what else would it be?) tabloid that conveniently interchanges what's real for what sells. But de Worde's got an inside line on the hot story concerning Ankh-Morpork's leading patrician, Lord Vetinari. The facts say Vetinari is guilty.

The hat was packaged securely and shipped in a box that allowed for enough space for the hat to travel undamaged. I've purchased a hat similar to this in the past from another seller who literally rolled/bent the hat up so that it fit in a small mailer (resulting in it being damaged and unusable). This seller took great care to ensure the hat arrived just as advertised. Thank you so much! A+++
