Description

A first edition, first printing of The Colour of Magic by Terry Pratchett.

  • Terry Pratchett (English).
  • United Kingdom: Colin Smythe, 1983.
  • In a fine unclipped wrapper, without the overprint to the front flap.


The first printing is said to have comprised 506 copies, but 400 of these were seemingly issued to libraries making fine copies difficult to come by.


First issue examples without the overlay are exceptionally scarce and probably number a handful at best. The second state featuring the printed overlay found on the inner front flap of most copies was pasted over the original blurb as a result of inaccuracies spotted when the jacket was returned from the American printers.
