About this listen
The chief cashier is almost certainly a vampire. There's something nameless in the cellar (and the cellar itself is pretty nameless). A 300-year-old wizard is after his girlfriend, and he's about to be exposed as a fraud - but the Assassins Guild might get him first. In fact, a lot of people want him dead. Oh...and every day he has to take the chairman for "walkies". Everywhere he looks he's making enemies. What he should be doing is...making money!

Critic reviews
"Pratchett throws in a mad scientist with a working economic model, disappearing gold reserves and an army of golems, once more using the Disc as an educational and entertaining mirror of human squabbles and flaws." (Publishers Weekly)

Money makes the world go round
An abridged version? Perhaps it would have been better if it had not been abridged, but it was a very enjoyable listen even so. I read the book, but thought this was a seemless story that stood up by itself.
The adventures of Moist von L. and the goings-on in Ankh Morpork are always amusing (see 'Going Postal'). Now with the unstability in the world baking sector it makes the story sharper, more astutue and highlights some of the ins and outs of the banking world.
Highly relevant today and well read too.

Why Abridged?
I love Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels and its wonderful to be able to listen to them as I work. Tony Robinson's reading compliments Pratchett's words( certainly better than Stephen Briggs version where for some mad reason Adora Belle Dearheart becomes Irish - very badly Irish as it happens) BUT why,oh why are Tony's versions abridged? I know these books so well that it's enormously frustrating to miss out anything- they are so well crafted they deserve nothing less than a full reading .

Good story but look for the unabridged version
Excellent story from Pratchett and if you have limited time then definitely pick this up. Tony Robinson made for a perfect narrator.
A lot of the detail is lost in the cut tho so die hard fans should look for the unabridged version.

Perfection!
Tony & Terry. What more could you want!
One of the Moist-von-lip stick stories. You should really read 'Going Postal' before this one, and then this, or 'Raising Steam' are good Lipwig stories.

Cover clearly says narrated by Stephen Briggs
Cover clearly says narrated by Stephen Briggs, while this version is narrated by Tony Robinson.
Not that Tony Robinson doesnt do a great job, but the cover should be adevertiswd correctly!!
Also should state this version as abridged!!
This os not the copy I wanted and the cover art is misleading.
