The ''[[Discworld]]'' started out as fantasy, but now it's real. The seasoned Discworld traveller knows exactly how to get from [[Lady Roberta Meserole|Madam]]s' Gardens to [[the Mended Drum]] (left up Easy Street, right onto Welcome Soap, fork left onto Filigree Street and the Drum is on the left, just opposite the [[Short Street]] turn). Travelling around a world so well-defined, but dangerous, without a guide, could be a very courageous choice.

Since the last revision to [[Book:The Discworld Companion|The Discworld® Companion]], new areas of the [[Discworld (world)|Disc]] have been explored, new characters discovered. We've trembled under the chandelier at the [[Ankh-Morpork]] [[Opera House]], we've flown with [[vampires|vampyres]] over the mysterious country of [[Überwald]], we've sliced through time with the [[History Monks]] and we've marvelled at [[Mr. Wintler]]'s humorously shaped vegetables.

This new, revised edition of the best-selling guide to the world's most famous fictional world covers its [[Discworld Stuff#Flora, Fauna, and Peoples|flora and fauna]], its [[List of Pratchett characters|outstanding personalities]], its customs, its [[Discworld Stuff#Organisations and groups|institutions]].

The paperback edition (2004) adequately covers all topics relating to books as far as no. 31, ''The Wee Free Men''.

Any specific or new topics raised in books from no. 32 {{MR}} onwards, however, are going to have to wait for the ''next'' revision. This edition of the companion also contains material from the - necessarily ephemeral - Diaries and Yearbooks, ie the Watch Yearbook, the assassin's diary and the fools and Clowns' Yearbook.
