The UK based satirical website, The Rockall Times, has got together with Terry Pratchett inspired Discworld Stamps to create a first day cover that will be signed by the Rockall Ho! Team and by Mister Terry Pratchett himself. There will be a few of the first day covers offered for sale on Ebay, the proceeds will go to the Media project of Mental Health Media – the Ebay launch is being undertaken by Discworld Stamp figurehead, Bernard Jenkins
The hype:
The cover design itself is based upon a Royal Naval Chart formed from a survey done by Captain Vidal R.N. of H.M.S. Pike in 1831, and was created by Bernard. It features two special Cinderella stamps, one designed by Bernard which shows the Discworld island of Leshp. This island features in the Discworld novel 'Jingo' by Pratchett, and has an uncanny resemblance to Rockall in more ways than one. The other [Rockall] stamp has been designed by Mark Valentine, a world authority on Cinderella Stamps.
