5.0 out of 5 stars Best cover ilustration ever
Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2007
I never seen such a good (perfect?) match between a writer and a cover illustrator. Josh Kirby illustrated the atmosphere and inhabitants of the Discworld with such an amazing accuracy. I was usually disappointed by graphic interpretations of fantasy novels, it was never really what I have imagined. With Josh Kiby illustrations, I enjoyed going back and forth to the cover while reading the book, there is so many details in these drawings that you always find new things you didn't notice at the first look. Truly inspiring.
