 reference copy provided courtesy of tony at the old pier bookshop, morecambe seafront.

first in the second trilogy full of prat-falls, portentously doomy sayings and riotously simple-minded yumor for which the cover artist employed by headline, josh kirby, should not be held responsible.

#1: "a malady of magicks" (1986), q.v. for the two trilogies' listings and links.

Not great, sort of Pratchett-lite... :erk:

 bar-code number truncated by too-small field: 978074723213100299

(the final five digits being the uk cover price in pence (£0.01))

the use of "on" in the typesetting line is incorrect, but "sic".
