Thief Of Time

Fantasy Science Fiction

Terry Pratchett’s Discworld romp Thief of Time arrives as a collectible first edition hardback, complete with its bright dust jacket. This 2001 Doubleday release follows the whimsical collision of monks, auditors, and one reluctant apprentice clockmaker trying to keep tomorrow from running out of time.

The novel blends fantasy and satirical science fiction, making it a must-have for both YA and adult fans who relish Pratchett’s trademark wit on every 316-page turn. Its standalone story sits neatly within the larger series, so newcomers and seasoned Discworld travellers can jump in without missing a beat.

This copy shows gentle shelf mileage: light age foxing speckles the closed page edges and a tiny bump kisses the margin—nothing that interrupts the reading flow. It comes from a smoke-free home and remains a solid, eye-catching addition to any shelf.

First editions in jacket are increasingly scarce; grab this affordable copy before time, or another collector, beats you to it.
