I think I am the biggest Terry Pratchett fan around!!! I love all his work!!! I can see that Map in a giant frame hanging on my wall…
My favorite cover is the original UK release of pyramids, with strata a close second
I love Terry Pratchett! And I quite like The Long Earth’s cover, it’s very different from the designs which are usually used on Pratchett books
Favourite cover is The Last Hero with the Silver Horde in all their glory.
I will offer op at least a half of my small toe to win this prize. I’m the biggest Pratchett fan!
Have to agree with Johann – The hardcover edition of The Last Hero, with its portrait of Cohen, is my favourite cover of them all.
Definitely Last Hero for my favorite cover. Love Terry Pratchett!
Great Last Hero seems to be quite popular and is my choice as well.
That’s quite a tough choice. I always liked the covers by Josh Kirby but my favorite by a hair must be the one for the UK edition of Monstrous Regiment done by Paul Kidby.
I really like the cover of Unseen Academicals
In my opinion, Dodger has the best cover by far. The style of the drawing, done by Paul Kidby, complements the story and era of the story incredibly well, as well as the colours, giving a melancholy feel despite the character’s smiling face. The perspective of the cover draws the eye in and holds it, making one look carefully at all the elements of the illustration, starting in the middle and going outwards to the dog and finally to the rest of the illustration, however it keeps the focus of the illustration to the character.
My favourite is Night Watch, good enough to be hanging in an art museum.
Moving Pictures. It’s that simple.
Thud! Love the image of the guardsman holding his torch up to ward off the surrounding dark
My favourite is Eric from the Discworld series
I’m a huge fan of the colour of magic cover. Crazy and very Pratchett.
I love the Witches Abroad cover with all the twisted fairy tale references
Snuff has the best cover by miles.
No matter what anyone else says, I am the biggest Pterry fan on the planet! I NEED to win this hamper!
My favourite favourite cover is the Josh Kirby painting on “Guards! Guards!”
(tweeted an entry too)
Love the cover of Soul Music!

My favourite cover has to be The Fifth Elephant. The colours are amazing.
I loved Unseen Academicals, but always find myself pouring over most of the covers. It’s really hard to choose just one when you love his books and characters.
My favourite cover would certainly be Reaper Man.
Death is my favourite character and I’ve owned my copy for years and years. It’s pretty dog eared but much loved.
Soul Music, come on, motorcycle made from bones, Death riding it..
All the Discworld covers have been brilliant, but Witches Abroad has so much content woven into it. That would be my favourite.
My favourite is Nightwatch, just because of the painting it represents. (But Paul Kidby is pretty amazing. ) From the books above, my fave is definitely Dodger.
This is such a cool give-away for fan girl and boys! Love love love!
I love the old Josh Kirby covers, also adored the covers of Night Watch and I liked the colours of Wintersmith. I could go on – it’s very difficult to choose.
the Cover of The Last Hero is iconic! and heroic!
Best cover art has to be Equal Rites, introduces Weatherwax as one of the greatest matriarchs in fantasy, her clan of witches being thrown into an as yet unisexual wizarding society makes for some properly funny observations!
Go to http://zapfod.wordpress.com/photos/pratchetts-discworld/ if you’re having trouble choosing..he’s listed some of the best!
My favourite Pratchett covers are Snuff and Unseen Academicals!
Woah! Now that I have stopped hyperventilating over this prize, I’d like to say that my favourite cover is ‘Going Postal’. I may be biased as that’s the book that started my affair with Terry.
I remember poring over the Josh Kirby covers as a little kid, completely and utterly fascinated. Until my older brother declared I was finally Old Enough to actually read the books. The cover of ‘Mort’ was a firm favourite, mostly because there were so many people on one poor horse.
Mort by Josh Kirby for Death and Binky. Also, being the first book, it’s still my favourite.
I think my favourite must be the original cover for “The amazing Maurice and his educated rodents”. Had one of the cutest, funniest introductory lines to any book ever too
Mort, hands down.
This was a difficult choice, but Josh Kirby’s Soul Music remains my all-time favourite Discworld cover.
Night Watch, most definitely! Probably because it looks so much like an old renaissance painting.
Just one cover?? Buggrit … be back later
Love the Kirby cover of Men at Arms. I’m not sure why but it draws me in
Has to be The World of Poo
I thought Snuff was very cool.
Wow, what an awesome prize!!
And to pick just one cover is impossible!! I think if I had to narrow it down to two… the first would be Witches Abroad and the second would be Hogfather… both extremely colourful and vibrant!!
Mmmm, but I also love Feet of Clay and Moving Pictures… this is hard…
okay!! I’ll choose just one and the best would then have to be Witches Abroad. (Also tweeting this!!)
Tough One, I’d say REAPER MAN
Night Watch, I love that is a rendition of Rembrandt’s “The Night Watch”
The World of Poo is totally frame-worthy – and not just for the bathroom!
The 5th elephant cover
Although it’s a collaboration between Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, I love the cover of Good Omens. One of my favourite books ever!
If I had to pick a second favourite it would be Carpe Jugulum. Swoon.
The Night Watch cover, hands down.
I LOVE any cover done by Paul Kidby. My favorite is a close tie between Wee Free Men and Thud!
Of these, the Snuff cover wins handily. Of all the Terry Pratchett books in the whole world ever – Soul Music?
Definitely the Paul Kidby cover for Night Watch. I just love all the irreverent references to the original Rembrandt painting.
I am currently loving the Dodger cover.
I still love Thud! To me, it has one of the most symbolic and different covers.
Night Watch
My favorite cover is Thud. I much prefer the original looking covers to those black ones they came out with a while ago. Glad they’ve brought the original look back
The Long Earth
My favourite is Night Watch, for a few reasons. Main 2 reasons: it is a wonderful, detailed picture that you can(and I have) stare for ages, naming all the characters; and I love the humour of it being a parody of “Night Watch”
There’s something about the original cover of The Truth that I just love!
I love the cover of Snuff and Thud!! =]
My favourite has got to be “Mort”, both the cover and the book itself. Love love love Terry Pratchett.
My favourite has got to be “Mort”, both the cover and the book itself. Love love love Terry Pratchett.
My favourite cover is of The Wee Free Men.
I just love all things Pratchett.

I like the understatedness of the Compleat Ankh Morpork of the lot you have available.
Ever? Ooo…. Last Hero, I think.
Snuff: It has all the details of characters and stories we’ve been building up since Nightwatch. Ineffable
Dark Omens
Has to be nightwatch
I like the Tiffany Aching covers. Most notably the cover of Wintersmith. It was the first Terry Pratchett novel I read, resulting in sufficiently piquing my interest in the discworld.
Moving Pictures
The one that started it all, for Mr Pratchett and for me: the Josh Kirby Carpet People cover.
I like the Long Earth cover! I am looking forward to introducing my kids to Terry Pratchett, great to see them enjoying reading!
I love the cover of ‘A Hat Full of Sky’ but then I love all the books that include the Wee Free Men!
I think the best cover is Going Postal.
My favourite cover is for Unseen Academicals.
I fell in love with the discworld with HOGFATHER. The most amazing story.
I love the cover of Monstrous Regiment, the characters are just perfect!
I love the cover of Monstrous Regiment
Difficult choice, but will go with The Long Earth. Awesome giveaway and blog, thanks
My favourite cover is Snuff, because it suits my taste in art.
Definitely Nightwatch
I truly choose The Long Earth – this awesome journey takes me away from ordinary earth to my ‘new’ earth, exactly where I want to be!
**The world of Poo**
Snuff is the best cover of all the books, it just makes you want to read it, great book!
I love the cover of Soul Music, the first one I read as well.
I love all of them ! I’ve been a Terry Pratchett fan for many years. If I have to pick 1 ….. Nightwatch !!!
My favorite cover is Soul Music
Mort because it was the first Pratchett book I ever read. It holds a special place in my heart.
Going Postal is my fave cover ever! super fun too!
The World of Poo no doubt! Best cover ever!
It’s a tough call – especially because I have so many associations with what’s inside the covers…
I think my favourite has to be the double covers for Good Omens, though (US hardcover, I think).
Close seconds: the Kirby Reaper Man for the excellent juxtapositioning of Death etc . with the pastoral icons, A Hat full of Sky, Thud
(Also tweeted)
My fav cover would be the paperback of “the amazing maurice and his educated rodents”
My favourite book cover is Guards! Guard! The very first Watch story. As I was reading the climax I kept flipping to the cover to see Paul Kidby’s imaging of it. His covers really bring out humour of Terry Pratchett’s stories.
I meant Josh Kirby
LOVE THE THE WORLD OF POOH COVER
HAVE TWEETED AS WELL.TWITTERNAME: @online61524
If I AHVE to choose, I will go with Dodger.
Nightwatch will be my choice.
I love the Josh Kirby covers, but my vote for favourite goes to Night Watch.
I like the design of The Long Earth cover.
I love the cover for The Light Fantastic/The Colour of Magic omnibus. It is by far the best-looking in my opinion, although I’ve always enjoyed all of Terry’s cover art
I love cover of The Last Hero !!
Twitter name @princessruw
Ooooh! Hard to decide, but I love the cover of Lords and Ladies! Hard to choose, also hard to decide whether I like the cover because of the art, or because of the story.
MASKERADE! Whoop whoop!!
The cover that stood out to me most was that of “Thud!”
Great prize.
Mort would be my choice.
The Wee Free Men of course!
i enjoyed Snuff
Anything by Josh Kirby, but Gaurds Guards! is my favorite
The Last Hero has the best cover. I love Cohen the barbarian. I mean, how could I not? He has my name!
