Interesting Times is the seventeenth Discworld novel and follows Rincewind on one of his most memorable and ambitious adventures. Taking inspiration from empire, revolution, bureaucracy and cultural misunderstanding, the novel combines Pratchett’s trademark humour with sharp satire and remains one of the best-loved entries in the long-running Discworld series.
First editions of Discworld titles continue to attract considerable collector interest, particularly signed examples. Whilst this copy is personalised, the inscription directly references the novel’s title, making it a particularly appealing and relevant author inscription. The inclusion of the Unseen University stamp further enhances its interest for Discworld collectors.
The book is complete with its original unclipped dust jacket priced at £14.99. Particularly noteworthy is the bright, unfaded blue spine, as copies from this period are frequently encountered with varying degrees of fading.
An attractive signed first edition from one of the most influential and widely read fantasy authors of the late twentieth century.
