For every Pratchett fan, the must-have fully updated guidebook to Discworld!
The Discworld, as everyone knows, is a flat world balanced on the backs of four elephants which, in turn, stand on the shell of the giant star turtle, the Great A'Tuin, as it slowly swims through space.
It is also a global publishing phenomenon with sales of nearly 85 million books worldwide (and counting). With 39 books in the canon, not including the various guides, maps, diaries, and other tie-in volumes, there's a lot of Discworld to keep track of—more than most fans can manage without magic.
Turtle Recall is the ultimate authority on probably the most heavily populated—certainly the most hilarious—setting in fantasy literature and includes a guide to Discworld locales from Ankh-Morpork to Zemphis, as well as information to help you distinguish Achmed the Mad from Jack Zweiblumen and the Agatean Empire from the Zoons. Plus much, much more.
Covering everything from The Colour of Magic, the first Discworld novel, through Snuff!, Turtle Recall: The Discworld Companion . . . So Far is the most up-to-the-minute encyclopedia of Terry Pratchett's extraordinary universe available.

Store description
Das Antiquariat Hamecher ist das älteste Antiquariat Nordhessens. Am 16. Oktober 1947 eröffnete Horst Hamecher in Kassel die Hessische Leihbücherei mit ansehnlichen Beständen seiner damaligen Privatbibliothek. Mit der bald wachsenden Kaufkraft wollte der Kunde nicht mehr nur lesen, sondern auch besitzen; so ergab es sich, dass nach Einführung der Gewerbefreiheit, im Jahr 1950, die wissenschaftliche Leihbücherei in ein Antiquariat überging nach dem Krieg das erste und lange Zeit einzige in Kassel. Im Frühjahr 2007 übernahm Sebastian Eichenberg das Geschäft in Kassel. Seit 2020 befindet sich das Antiquariat nun in Naumburg-Altenstädt, im schönen Wolfhager Land, ca. 30km westlich von Kassel. Neben dem "gewöhnlichen" Antiquariat guter Bücher liegt unser Interesse besonders auf dem Schwerpunkt der Bibliophilie, der Buchkunst, der Einbandkunde - oder kurz: dem besonderen, schönen und/oder seltenen Buch. Einzelne Stücke oder ganze Sammlungen werden von uns gerne angeschaut und begutachtet. Wir suchen stets weitere Bände zum Ankauf für unseren Bestand und freuen uns über Ihre Angebote. Als Mitglieder der Antiquariatsverbände VDA/ILAB bürgen wir stets für die Echtheit unserer Bücher bzw. der Autographen. Wir freuen uns, Sie als Kunden zu begrüßen - und auf den Austausch mit Ihnen.…

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
