The book takes place in Discworld's most famous city, Ankh-Morpork and a hill called "Holy Wood". It is the first Discworld novel to feature Mustrum Ridcully, Archchancellor of Unseen University, as a character. The alchemists of the Discworld have invented moving pictures. Many hopefuls are drawn by the siren call of Holy Wood, home of the fledgling "clicks" industry - among them Victor Tugelbend, a dropout from Ankh-Morpork's Unseen University and Theda "Ginger" Withel, a girl "from a little town you never ever heard of", and the Discworld's most infamous salesman, Cut-Me-Own-Throat Dibbler, who introduces commerce to the equation and becomes a successful producer. The business of making movies grows rapidly, and eventually Victor and Ginger become real stars, thanks to the help of Gaspode the sentient dog (who also develops a manager-client relationship with Laddie, who everybody considers to be the real Wonder Dog, although in fact is very simple-minded). Holy Wood for a while becomes an effervescent place full of humans, dwarfs, alchemists, demons (which essentially constitute the main technological device to make movies), and trolls (among whom is Detritus) all living in harmony. Meanwhile, it gradually becomes clear that the production of movies is having a deleterious effect on the structure of reality.' [Wiki] ***'I'm beginning to think that Terry Pratchett is the best humorist this country has seen since P. G. Wodehouse - less coarse than Tom Sharpe, less cynical than Douglas Adams, simply a pure joy.' - David Pringle [White Dwarf]***'Terry Pratchett--just keeps getting better and better--Pratchett is at the peak of his powers; it's hard to think of any humorist writing in Britain today who can match him.' - Dominic Wells [Time Out] [Review quotes taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper] ***A first impression of the true first edition, in its original attractive wraparound colour-illustrated dustwrapper, in very good condition. Whilst not a scarce title, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find unmarked and undamaged first impressions of Terry Pratchett's novels from this period - most copies are either later impressions, or if first impressions then in very well-red condition. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
