As usual, Pratchett lays on the sarcasm and satire thick, but makes it entertaining with typesetting dwarves and a vampire photographer (who, unfortunately, turns to a pile of dust if the flash is too bright). There's a wee bit of romance, a lot of shenanigans, and a murder or three. It's a hilarious look at the world of publishing... in a way only to be found in Ankh-Morpork.
