Discover Sir Terry Pratchett’s Discworld, the beloved comic fantasy universe that’s brimming with wit, wisdom, and wonder. Start where it all began in the seminal novel The Color of Magic, which follows the misadventures of the inept wizard Rincewind as he serves as tour guide to Twoflower, Discworld’s first-ever sightseer. The hapless duo’s journeys continue in The Light Fantastic and Sourcery, where the scale of world-threatening hazards (and accompanying absurdities) increase exponentially. You’ll get over 35 Discworld novels in all, touching all corners of this whimsical realm and all manner of its denizens, and you’ll help Room to Read with your purchase!

Has anyone had any experience buying something like this outside the US? As in, if I use a VPN can I buy it and get the books?
It’s fulfilled via kobo.com. My speculation is that it depends on if you have (or have access to) a US-based kobo account.
I just wanna mention for anyone out there who might need to hear this. It’s not immoral to acquire the books via other means if you can’t easily acquire them legally.
I used a VPN and was able to purchase the $1 tier via PayPal and redeem the books to my Kobo account. When I was redeeming the code, I had to manually set the webstore to the United States. The books were added to my main Kobo library alongside everything else I own in there.
However, and this isn’t a big deal for most, you will receive the American English ‘prints’. Terry was so quintessentially English, it feels uncomfortable reading ‘Color’ of Magic rather than ‘Colour’.
Man I wish they were audio books.
Or that I had an hour a day to read.
I don’t think there is a modern reading. The ones on Audible are pretty clearly ripped from cassette and kind of dodgy
Quite a few of the books have been recorded as new audiobooks lately. Some of them are here:
Darn, would have loved to pick this up!
Working on collecting their fancy edition of the books.
Thanks, this is a great deal!
Lame, I would have picked this up, I own the physicals and have acquired the digital versions, would love to get the digital version on Kobo.
