Greetings adventurer! We lay before you this most comprehensive gazetteer encompassing all the streets of Ankh-Morpork as well as information on its principal businesses hotels taverns inns & places of entertainment & refreshment enhanced by the all-new & compleat map of our great city state. Our city has grown well beyond its ancient walls but the remit of this commission from the honourable Guild of Merchants was to 'map the city' the pulsing organ of commerce & culture the heart as opposed to the body & this we have done. In spades. We ask that when you pore over this glorious work you spare some thought for the humble cartographers & surveyors who made journeys into the darker corners of our metropolis
- no less dangerous than the wilds of Skund or Bhangbhangduc. To some the only memorial is the map you now possess. Others in their quest for knowledge paid the highest price that scholarship demands which is to say a day off in lieu. & so we dedicate this map & these accompanying words to the officers councilors & members of the Merchants' Guild & to all who will find in its pages paths yet to tread & places yet to explore within the magnificent wonder that is the city of Ankh-Morpork.
