Advantages: Wonderful illustrations and a reasonable Rincewind story

Disadvantages: Not the best by far

The version of Eric I have is the only Pratchett paperback book that includes a lot of illustrations from Josh Kirby. Yes, I know that there are normally cover pictures, but this version has full colour pictures throughout.

The story, based on Faust, is about Eric who conjures up himself a demon from the pit, but it is not any old demon it is poor old Rincewind the wizard, who found himself in the dungeon dimensions at the end of one of his misadventures. The wizard, through no fault of his own, is able to grant Eric three wishes much to both of the characters amazement. The ensuing adventures are, as you would expect, see Rincewind and Eric causing chaos as they travel through the millennia backwards in time meeting historic characters, The Creator of the Discworld and the residents of the pit.

This may not be one of his best books or the longest, but if you can obtain the original version with all the illustrations it will be worth it if you are a big Pratchett fan.
