1. The Discworld Series
Note on discworld novels' cover artists.
Josh Kirby is the single artist most popularly associated with Terry's
books, though he was not in fact the first artist to produce cover art
for his work - Terry himself did that - nor even that of the very first
Discworld novel, _The Colour of Magic_; but he was Transworld's choice
for cover artist for the first p/b of this, and graced (or disgraced
<g>)
the covers of the uk editions of the Discworld books thence, until his
death - with one exception: Transworld tested a "serious" cover by
Stephen Player on a printing of The Colour of Magic in an apparent
attempt to broaden the sales appeal to encompass sad people hitherto put
off what some have described as literature, by visibly non-serious cover
art. the attempt was not entirely successful, and was not repeated - or
even reprinted. Since Josh Kirby's death, the main cover artist for the
Discworld series has been Paul Kidby - and "properly sad^W serious"
monochrome covers betokening a serious literary author've appeared upon
the "b format" paperback reissues by Transworld, now subsumed into the
Random House UK operation.
most of the (merkin) mmp/bs from [New American Library, now Penguin]
Signet/Roc have featured cover artwork by Darrell K. Sweet that most,
but not all, who have compared with Josh Kirby's, concur to be less in
sympathy with the feel of the Discworld (though by no means necessarily
less strictly true to descriptions of the characters in Terry's text),
though the Signet/Roc mmp/bs of The Colour of Magic The Light Fantastic,
Equal Rights and Mort first used Josh Kirby's artwork.
later merkin h/cvr editions published by HarperCollins have altogether
more "serious" cover art: designs deemed symbolic of the novels, rather
than illustrative of them, by Michael Sabanosh, & Carl D. Galian.
[HarperTorch's art policy's nyk by me, if indeed it be separable. - pp.]

1st edition h/cvr blurb (thanks to colin smythe for the d-j :-) ):
Terry Pratchett has invented a phantasmagorical universe in
which a blissfully naive interplanetary tourist called Two-
flower joins up with a drop-out wizard whose spells only seem
to work half of the time. Together they undertake a chaotic
voyage through a crazy world filled with monsters and dragons,
heroes and knaves. Pratchett has taken the sword and sorcery
fantasy tradition and turned it in its ear to create an enter-
taining and bizarre spoof.
h/cvr blurb (of the 1995 printing):
Since the publication of _The Colour of Magic_ in 1983, Terry
Pratchett's Discworld series (described by the _Guardian_ as
`a sequence of unalloyed delight') now has seventeen bestsell-
ing titles currently in print, every one of which has received
rapturous reviews. As the American _Publisher's Weekly_ wrote,
in this first volume of the series Rincewind, an inept wizard,
takes on the job of `shepherding a naive actuary, Two-
flower, his world's first tourist, through a series of
increasingly hazardous and outrageous adventures. Assisting
Rincewind's rather inconsistent powers in protecting Twoflow-
er is the Luggage, a sentient trunk that follows him through
all manner of adversity on its hundreds of little legs. Heroic
barbarians, chthonic monsters, beautiful princesses and fiery
dragons; they're all here, but none of them is doing business
as usual.'
p/b blurb:
Jerome K. Jerome meets _Lord of the Rings_ (with a touch of
_Peter Pan_)...[this first part omitted from the 1994 re-set
p/b edition's blurb]
On a world supported on the back of a giant turtle (sex unknown),
a gleeful, explosive, wickedly eccentric expedition sets out.
There's an avaricious but inept wizard, a naive tourist whose
luggage moves on hundreds of dear little legs, dragons who only
exist if you believe in them, and of course THE EDGE of the
planet...
The wackiest and most original fantasy since _Hitchhikers Guide
to the Galaxy_.

h/cvr blurb:
In _The Colour of Magic_, the singularly inept and cowardly wiz-
ard Rincewind, Twoflower, the Discworld's first tourist, and his
remarkable Luggage, were last seen falling off its edge, with no
help in sight.
In this sequel, the Discworld is moving towards a seemingly in-
evitable collision with a malevolent red star, and it has only
one possible saviour. Unfortunately this happens to be Rincewind
. . .
p/b blurb:
As it moves towards a seemingly inevitable collision with a mal-
evolent red star, the Discworld has only one possible saviour.
Unfortunately, this happens to be the singularly inept and coward
-ly wizard called Rincewind, who was last seen falling off the
edge of the world ....
The funniest and most unorthodox fantasy in this or any other
galaxy.

h/cvr blurb:
Plodding through the eternal void is the great turtle A'Tuin. On
his back (or hers - the question is unresolved) stand four eleph-
ants. And supported on the elephants' shoulders is. . .
Discworld, planet of magic and misadventure!
Predicting his own death, the wizard Drum Billet sets out to pass
on his power and his staff to his predicted successor, the eighth
son of an eighth son. But there is a problem. The eighth son
turns out to be a daughter, and women aren't supposed to be
wizards.
(`Where does it say women can't be wizards?' `It doesn't say it
anywhere, it says it everywhere.') But it's too late: Eskarina
inherits the wizard's staff, and with the reluctant help of the
witch Granny Weatherwax sets out to learn her new calling.
p/b blurb:
The last thing the wizard Drum Billet did, before Death laid a
bony hand on his shoulder, was to pass on his staff of power
to the eighth son of an eighth son. Unfortunately for his
colleagues in the chauvinistic (not to say misogynistic) world
of magic, he failed to check on the new-born baby's sex ...
A third hilarious adventure by the author of _The Colour
of Magic_ and _The Light Fantastic_.

h/cvr blurb:
In _Mort_, Terry Pratchett returns to `Discworld', the setting
for his popular series of comic fantasy novels, _The Colour of
Magic_, _The Light Fantastic_, and _Equal Rites_.
Mort is an unpromising, gangling teenager who becomes as apprent-
ice to Death, but proves less than gifted at his new task of ush-
ering souls out of the world. In fact, when it comes to the rath-
er attractive Princess Keli (due to be assassinated) Mort fluffs
it completely. He kills the assassin instead, thus interfering
with the implacable workings of Fate. But reality isn't changed
so easily; history as it should have been begins to take shape
around Keli's city-state of Sto Lat. Can Mort save Keli before
she is squeezed out of existence?
Death, having delegated much of his work to Mort, is displaying
disturbingly human characteristics: drinking, dice-playing and
becoming curious about the nature of fun. Mort, meanwhile, is
becoming much less cheery and showing a worrying tendency to
SPEAK IN HOLLOW CAPITALS...
p/b blurb:
Death comes to us all. When he came to Mort, he offered him
a job.
After being assured that being dead was not compulsory, Mort
accepted. However, he soon found that romantic longings did
not mix easily with the responsibilities of being Death's
apprentice...

h/cvr blurb:
A sourcerer is born - a wizard so powerful that by comparison all
other magic is just mucking around in pointy hats.
And his very existence brings the Discworld, which is of course
flat and rides through space on the back of an enormous turtle,
to the very verge of all-out thaumaturgical war*.
All that stands in the way is Rincewind, the failed magician,
who wants to save the world, or at least that part of it
which contains him. More new characters join the Discworld ad-
venture: Conina the barbarian hairdresser, Nijel the Destroyer
(whose mother still makes him wear woolly underwear) and poss-
ibly the first yuppie genie, who's into lamps as a growth area.
This time the adventure goes east, or hubwards, or whatever. It
doesn't simply draw heavily on _Omar Khayyam_, _Raiders of the
Lost Ark_, the _1001 Nights_ and every Arabian B-movie ever made,
it scribbles on them as well. . .
* A bad thing
p/b blurb:
There was an eighth son of an eighth son. He was, quite nat-
urally, a wizard. And there it should have ended. However
(for reasons we'd better not go into), he had seven sons. And
then he had an eighth son ... a wizard squared ... a source of
magic ... a Sourcerer.

h/cvr blurb:
Kingdoms wobble, crowns topple and knives flash on the magical
Discworld as the statutory three witches meddle in royal polit-
ics.
But Granny Weatherwax (of _Equal Rites_) and her fellow coven
members find it's all a lot more difficult than playwrights would
have you believe. . .
Everything you'd expect is here - hunchbacked kings, lost crowns
and disguised heirs. And they are joined by things you haven't
heard of yet, like a stage-struck thunderstorm and the first
recorded instance of the in-flight refuelling of a broomstick.
Through it all the wyrd sisters ("This cauldron's got all _yuk_
in it!") battle against frightful odds to put the rightful king
on the throne.
At least, that's what they think. . .
_Wyrd Sisters_ is the sixth of Terry Pratchett's Discworld
novels, which are now well-established as the funniest fantasy
series ever - and among the funniest novels of any kind currently
being published.
p/b blurb:
Witches are not by their nature gregarious, and they certainly
don't have leaders. Granny Weatherwax was the most highly re-
garded of the leaders they didn't have. But even *she* found
that meddling in royal politics was a lot more difficult than
certain playwrights would have you believe ...

It isn't easy, being a teenage pharaoh. You're not allowed to
carry money, uninhibited young women peel your grapes for you,
everyone thinks you're responsible for making the sun rise and
the corn grow, you keep dreaming about seven thin cows and seven
fat cows* and, on top of everything else, the Great Pyramid
has just exploded because of paracosmic instability.
And then you've got to deal with all these assassins, sphinxes,
huge wooden horses, mad high priests, philosophers, sacred croc-
odiles, gods, marching mummies, jobbing pyramid builders and
Hat, the Vulture-Headed God of Unexpected Guests.
And all you _really_ wanted was the chance to do something for
young people and the inner cities.
Definitely the funniest Discworld book since the last one.
*One of them playing a trombone.
p/b blurb:
Being trained by the Assassin's Guild in Ankh-Morpork did not fit
Teppic for the task assigned to him by fate. He inherited the
throne of the desert kingdom of Djelibeybi rather earlier
than he expected (his father wasn't too happy about it either),
but that was only the beginning of his problems ...

_`Of all the cities in the world it could have flown into,
it flew into mine. . .'_
Some night-time prowler is turning the citizens of Ankh-
Morpork, greatest city of the fantasy Discworld*, into
something resembling small charcoal biscuits.
And that's a real problem for Captain Vimes of the City
Watch, who must tramp the mean streets of the city search-
ing for a seventy-foot-long fire-breathing dragon which, he
believes, can help him with their enquiries.
In a city thrown into turmoil by magic, charcoal biscuits,
secret societies and mad lady dragon breeders (`Just tell
him _sit_ if he's bothering you'), he's just looking for the
facts.
* Which is flat and rides through space on the back of four
elephants who stand on the shell of an enormous turtle, as
every scholar knows.
p/b blurb:
This is where the dragons went. They lie... not dead, not
asleep, but... dormant. And although the space they occupy
isn't like normal space, nevertheless they are packed in
tightly. They could put you in mind of a can of sardines,
if you thought sardines were huge and scaly. And presumably,
somewhere, there's a key ...

h/cvr (& vlf p/b back cover) blurb:
You've heard of Faust...
This is Eric.
There's a difference.
Eric is fourteen, lives on the famed and magical Discworld,
and is the first ever demonology hacker. Fortunately, he
doesn't succeed in raising any devils, but he does raise
Rincewind (the most incompetent wizard in the universe) and
the Luggage (the world's most dangerous travel accessory).
When Eric turns them loose on an unprotected world, the idea
is that Rincewind will grant him his three rather adolescent
wishes.
You know. The usual three. Live forever, rule the world, meet
the most beautiful woman who ever lived. Simple, really...
Getting marooned at the dawn of Time, changing the future and
meeting history's most embarrassing god is only the start.
Creating life on the Discworld is a mere detail.
Because Rincewind ends up going through Hell.
Literally.
It'll never be the same again.
a format p/b blurb:
Eric is the Discworld's only demonology hacker.
Pity he's not very good at it.
All he wants is three wishes granted. Nothing fancy - to be imm-
ortal, rule the world, have the most beautiful woman in the world
fall madly in love with him, the usual stuff.
But instead of a tractable demon, he calls up Rincewind, probably
the most incompetent wizard in the universe, and the extremely
_intractable_ and hostile form of travel accessory known as the
Luggage.
With them on his side, Eric's in for a ride through space and
time that is bound to make him wish (quite fervently) again -
this time that he'd never been born.

Death is missing - presumed ... er ... gone.
Which leads to the kind of chaos you _always_ get when an import-
ant public service is withdrawn.
Ghosts and poltergeists fill up the Discworld. Dead Rights act-
ivist Reg Shoe - `You Don't Have to Take This Lying Down' - sud-
denly has more work than he had ever dreamed of. And newly de-
ceased wizard Windle Poons wakes up in his coffin to find that he
has come back as a corpse.
But it's up to Windle and the members of Ankh-Morpork's rather
unfrightening group of undead (*) to save the world for the
living.
Meanwhile, on a little farm far, far away, a tall, dark stranger
is turning out to be really good with a scythe. There's a harvest
to be got in. And a different battle to be fought.
(*) Arthur Winkings, for example, became a vampire after being
bitten by a lawyer. Schleppel the bogeyman would be better at
his job if he wasn't agoraphobic and frightened of coming out of
the closet. And Mr Ixolite is a banshee with a speech impedim-
ent, so instead of standing on the roof and screaming when
there's a death in the house he writes `OooEeeOooEeeOoo' on a
piece of paper and pushes it under the door.

h/cvr blurb:
It seemed an easy job ...
After all, how difficult could it be to make sure that a servant
girl _doesn't_ marry a prince?
But for the witches Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg and Magrat
Garlick, travelling to the distant city of Genua, things are
never that simple ...
For one thing, all they've got is Mrs Gogol's voodoo, a one-eyed
cat and a second-hand magic wand that can only do pumpkins. And
they're up against the malignant power of the Godmother herself,
who has made Destiny an offer it can't refuse. And finally
there's the sheer power of the Story.
Servant girls _have_ to marry the Prince. That's what life is
all about.
You can't fight a Happy Ending.
At least - up until now ...

Brutha is the Chosen One.
His god has spoken to him, admittedly while currently in the
shape of a tortoise.
Brutha is a simple lad. He can't read. He can't write. He's
pretty good at growing melons. And his wants are few.
He wants to overthrow a huge and corrupt church.
He wants to prevent a horrible holy war.
He wants to stop the persecution of a philosopher who has dared
to suggest that, contrary to the Church's dogma, the Discworld
really _does_ go through space on the back of an enormous
turtle (*).
He wants peace and justice and brotherly love.
He wants the Inquisition to stop torturing him now, please.
But most of all, what he really wants, more than anything else,
is for his god to Choose Someone Else ...
(* which is true, but when has _that_ ever mattered?)
p/b blurb:
In the beginning was the Word.
And the Word was: "Hey, you!"
For Brutha the novice is the Chosen One. He wants peace and

But the Lancre All-Comers Morris Team have got drunk on a
fairy mound and the elves have come back, bringing all those
things _traditionally_ associated with the magical, glittering
realm of Faerie: cruelty, kidnapping, malice and evil, evil
murder.[*] Granny Weatherwax and her tiny argumentative coven
have _really_ got their work cut out this time... With full

one orang-utan. And lots of hey-nonny-nonny and blood all

[*] But with tons of _style_.

Omnibus collecting Equal Rites, Wyrd Sisters, Witches Abroad.
Witches are not by nature gregarious and they certainly don't
have leaders.
Granny Weatherwax was the most highly regarded of the leaders
they didn't have...
Here are three novels featuring one of Terry Pratchett's most
celebrated characters, along with her sidekicks, the fertile
Nanny Ogg and the New Age's favourite witch, Magrat Garlick:
EQUAL RITES
Women aren't supposed to be wizards - but nobody told Eskarina,
the eighth daughter of an eighth son, when she inherited her
father's staff, and with Granny Weatherwax's reluctant help she
sets out to learn her new calling.
WYRD SISTERS
In which Granny discovers that meddling in royal politics is a
_lot_ more difficult than certain playwrights would have you
believe.
WITCHES ABROAD
The funniest Grand Tour anywhere, as Granny, Nanny and Magrat
travel to distant Genua - to make sure a servant girl _doesn't_
marry the prince.

As autumn fogs hold Ankh-Morpork in their grip, the City Watch
have to track down a murderer who can't be seen.
Maybe the golems know something - but the solemn men of clay,
who work all day and night and are never any trouble to anyone,
have started to commit suicide ...
It's not as if the Watch hasn't got problems of its own. There's
a werewolf suffering from Pre-Lunar Tension. Corporal Nobbs is
hob-nobbing with the nobs, and there's something really strange
about the new dwarf recruit, especially his earrings and
eyeshadow.
Who can you trust when there are mobs on the streets and
plotters in the dark and all the clues point the wrong way?
In the gloom of the night, Watch Commander Sir Samuel Vimes
finds that the truth might not be out there at all.
*_It may be in amongst the words in the head._*
A chilling tale of poison and pottery.

Watch has got just a few hours to deal with a crime so big that
there's no law against it. It's called `war'.
He's facing unpleasant foes who are out to get him... that's just
the people on _his_ side. The enemy might be even worse. And his
pocket Dis-organiser says he's got _Die_ under `Things To Do
Today'.
But he'd better not, because the world's cleverest inventor and
its most devious politician are on their way to the battlefield
with a little package that's _guaranteed_ to stop a battle...
Discworld goes to war, with armies of sardines, warriors, fisher-
men, squid and at least one very camp follower.

h/cvr blurb:
This is the Discworld's last continent, a completely separate
creation.
It's hot. It's dry . . . very dry. There was this thing once
called The Wet, which no one now believes in. Practically
everything that's not poisonous is venomous. But it's the best
bloody place in the world, all right?
And it'll die in a few days, except . . .
Who is this hero striding across the red desert? Champion sheep
shearer, horse rider, road warrior, beer drinker, bush ranger
and someone who'll even eat a Meat Pie Floater when he's _sober?_
A man in a hat, whose Luggage follows him around on little legs,
who's about to change history by preventing a swagman stealing
a jumbuck by a billabong?
Yes . . . all this place has between itself and wind-blown doom
is Rincewind, the inept wizard who can't even _spell_ wizard.
He's the only hero left.
Still . . . no worries, eh?
Terry Pratchett would like it to be known that _The Last
Continent_ is not a book about Australia. It's just vaguely
australian.
p/b blurb:
