It would be 23 years if I had entered the date correctly. Actually
The Colour of Magic was published in 1983, so 26 was correct.

<sigh>

But, in any case, Woo-hoo!

Now that I think about it, that makes quite a lot of books written in
26 years. The guy's a writing machine.

The arithmetic works if you start with the right number. The Colour of
Magic was published on this date in 198*3*. I assume this is what Otter
*meant*, and he just made a tyop.
