I've never seen this book in person. Ever. Not a single bookstore has ever had it.

Does it really even exist? I've only seen it under 'Other Discworld Books" and a refference to it in the Art of Discworld.

It exists and it's one of the best. It's a picture book like Eric, only the pictures are by Paul Kidby, the guy who does all the new covers that you don't get in the US, so it's nicer to look at than Eric as well as a better book.
You should order yourself a copy.

It might not be placed with the other Discworld books, though, because it's an oversize. Sometimes it's placed with fantasy art books instead.

Erm... Eric is a picture book? Mine is just like the regular books.

Yeah, I have the same one, the one with the pictures is out of print now, but originally it was. That's why it's so short compared to the others normal books.

Since the original book was larger and far more illustrated it was harder to sell in bookstores with small shelves... blaugh

Like JohnWWells said, I found my copy in the Art Books section 3nodding
