Pretty good. The bits of writing about the explorers are clever and funny. The map itself is beautiful, but as it was only written after book 18, Interesting Times, there are a few vital places not there - like the Chalk Country of Tiffany Aching. Well, this only serves to make the map more realistic - cartographers always get stuff wrong for the first few maps - they used to think that Australia and Tasmania were joined together!
This map is still well worth it.

The map is absolutely gorgeous, the art and style match the Discworld feel perfectly and I love all the artistic details and flourishes on the side that make it feel like a realworld ancient map. There Be Dragons indeed.

I enjoyed the text at the beginning, the short introduction from Sir Pratchett himself to a brief and yet illuminating description of the challenges of creating a work such as this by Steven Briggs and the short biographies of famous Discworld Explorers were hilarious and made me want to read books based just on them.

This is probably more for the serious Terry Pratchett fan and collector than for the more casual reader but I find I really love the maps and enjoy the depth they bring to the Discworld.
