nOutlandish fun. . . . Making Money balances satire, knockabout farce and close observation of human--and non-human--foibles with impressive dexterity and deceptive ease. The result is another ingenious entertainment from the preeminent comic fantasist of our time.--Washington Postn nThe hero of Going Postal has an even more dangerous job than the mail: overseeing the tanking Royal Bank and the printing of Ankh-Morporks first paper currency in this brilliant installment in New York Times bestselling author Sir Terry Pratchetts beloved Discworld series.n nThe Royal Bank of Ankh-Morpork is facing a crisis, and who better to manage it than the man who turned around Ankh-Morporks inefficient Post Office, former arch-swindler-turned-Postmaster General Moist von Lipwig. Lord Vetinari once again makes Moist an offer he cant refuse: resuscitate the venerable Royal Mint.n nThe bank has many problems: the chief cashier is almost certainly a vampire, the elderly chairman and her two loaded crossbows needs a daily walkie, theres something strange happening in the cellar, and running the Royal Mint is costing a mint.n nAs Moist begins to make some ambitious changes, he accrues some dangerous enemies. Everyone knows money is power--and certain stakeholders will do anything to keep a firm grip on both . . .n nThe Discworld novels can be read in any order, but Making Money is the second book in the Moist von Lipwig series.
