2. Non-Series Novels & Collection
These novels were written before Terry's success with the Discworld,
though the revised edition of The Carpet People was - not exactly
re-written - later (Terry describes it as a collaboration between two
authors, both called Terry Pratchett...).

h/cvr blurb:
There is magic in every carpet. Cities and villages exist right
under your feet and the people who live in them are so small that
each tuft of wool stretches high above them like giant trees. A
grain of sugar which has somehow found its way into the world of
the carpet people, becomes a favourite mountain for the carpet
animals where they go as often as possible. Dust plants make up a
wonderful vegetation, and the world of the carpet people is as
real to them as the earth is to us.
But there are also creatures who live in the underlay; they appear
to be allies of that terrible and powerful Fray who lives above
the carpet. Whenever he passes above, he leaves destruction behind
him in the world of the carpet people, and the creatures of the
underlay try to take advantage of them.
This is the story of Snibril and Glurk, the leaders of the carpet
people and how they finally defeat the servants of Fray. It is
full of magic battles and the day to day struggle of the brave
and ingenious carpet people.
Children of all ages, from 5 to 50 will enjoy this book, and the
world of the Carpet People in the reader's own home will add a
new dimension to his imagination.

In the beginning, there was nothing but endless flatness.
Then came the Carpet...
</bold red font>
That's the old story everyone knows and loves (even if they
don't really _believe_ it). For now the Carpet is home for
many different tribes and peoples - from the empire-building
Dumii, to the nomadic Munrungs, the proud Deftmenes, and the
terrible creatures from the Unswept Regions. And there's a
new story in the making.
The story of the time when Fray begins to move, sweeping a
trail of destruction across the Carpet.
The story of the power-hungry mouls, saddling up their snargs
and riding to the attack.
The story of Glurk and Snibril, Munrung brothers, who set out
on an adventure to end all adventures when their village is
flattened.
The story that will come to a terrible end - if someone
doesn't do something about it. If _everyone_ doesn't do
something about it...

h/cvr blurb:
_Probability Math:_ the science of foretelling the future. For
Dom Sabalos, heir to an immensely rich family, its forecasts
were curiously contradictory: he would be assassinated, and
_after_ that, find the fabulous, almost mythical, world of the
Jokers, who were only known by a few incredible artifacts
scattered throughout the Galaxy.
Any good P-Mathematician could find out this information. Some-
body certainly wanted to prove P-Math wrong as far as Dom was
concerned, and make sure that once he was dead, he stayed dead. A
robot assassin, with built-in `luck', had been put on his tail,
but what was it that protected Dom every time the assassin
struck?
To be sure, he had an excellent robot servant, Isaac; (class 5
with Man-Friday subcircuitry). a planet (the First Syrian Bank)
as a god-father, a determined and protective grandmother (who
looked as if she had been born aged eighty), a security chief who
even ran checks on himself, and a home world, where a missing
hand was only a minor mishap and even death was not always fatal
- but what protected Dom on his search for the world which he
knew lay on the dark side of the sun:?
p/b blurb:
Dom Salabos had a lot of advantages.
As heir to a huge fortune, he had an excellent robot
servant (with Man-Friday subcircuity), a planet (the First
Syrian Bank) as a godfather, a security chief who even ran
checks on himself, and on Dom's home world even death was
not always fatal.
Why then, in an age when prediction was a science, was his
future in doubt?

h/cvr blurb:
A flat earth? Impossible. Kin Arad is the 210-year-old super-
visor in charge of resurfacing the newly named planet, Kingdom.
When she finds Jago Jalo, a man who has a cloak of invisibility
and should have died a thousand years ago, in her office, she de-
cides he must have an unusual tale. He has. He knows where such a
world is. It is like the medieval earth . . . almost. Leiv Eriks-
son is setting off for the New World, but he will never find it.
Instead he sails to the edge of the world and its eternal water-
fall.
It is obvious that this `earth' has been built by the Great
Spindle Kings, makers of universes, inventors of the strata mach-
ine and the ultimate in claustrophobes, anmd Jalo lures the human
Kin, the kung Marco Farfarer and the fifty-six-syllable-named
shand better known as Silver, to undertake a voyage of discovery
with him: the rewards must be beyond their dreams . . . or night-
mares.
p/b blurb:
The excavation showed that the fossilized plesiosaur had been
holding a placard which read, "End Nuclear Testing Now". That
was nothing unusual.
But then came a discovery of something which *did* intrigue
Kin Arad.
A flat earth was something new ...

3. The Nomes Series (The Bromeliad)
Overtly for children, this series has proved popular for both adults
and children and may be found in either the childrens', or the sf &
fantasy sections of your bookshop - or in both... Diggers has been
made into a cartoon series by Cosgrove-Hall (- see 7.2 for the [o/p]
picture book based on this; and see the AFP-FAQ for more information).
uk editions have cover art by Josh Kirby, with that of the uk omnibus
being taken directly from the central image of the _Truckers_ artwork,
but with completely new and appropriate typography upon a buff, rather
than a bright blue field.

h/cvr blurb:
`Outside! What's it like?' Masklin looked blank. `Well,' he said,
`it's sort of big -' `Yes?' `And, er, there's a lot of it -'
`Yes? Yes?' `With, you know, things in it -'
...yes, _lots_ of things, and all of them a mystery to the thou-
sands of tiny nomes living under the floorboards of a large dep-
artment store, most of whom have never even set eyes upon the
outside world. Things like Day and Night and Sun and Rain don't
really exist, say all intelligent nomes. They're just daft old
legends.
But soon a devestating piece of news is to shatter the nomes' ex-
istence: the Store - their world - is to be demolished...
So it's up to Masklin, the last nome to come into the Store, to
mastermind the unbelievable escape plan that will take all the
nomes into the dangers of the great Outside.
It means they have to think. And they have to think BIG.
And they start to learn who they are and how they came to be
there, and where their fantastic journey must one day take them.
p/b Blurb:
To the thousands of tiny nomes who live under the floorboards
of a large department store, there is no Outside. Things like
Day and Night, Sun and Rain are just daft old legends.
Then a devastating piece of news shatters their existence:
the Store - their whole world - is to be demolished. And it's
up to Masklin, one of the last nomes to come into the Store,
to mastermind an unbelievable escape plan that will take all
the nomes into the dangers of the great Outside ...

h/cvr blurb:
`In the beginning...Arnold Bros (est. 1905) created the Store.'
When their home, a large department store, was demolished, thou-
sands of tiny nomes made a daring and dramatic escape on a stolen
lorry - and only just in the nick of time. The abandoned quarry
they found was perfect for their needs.
At last they are safe. Or are they?
Soon strange things start to happen. Like the tops of puddles
growing hard and cold, and the water coming down from the sky
in frozen bits. Worse is to come though. The quarry is to be
re-opened - their new home is under threat.
A newspaper cutting sends three brave nomes off on a desperate
mission which, if it succeeds, could lead them all to their ult-
imate home...
Meanwhile, back at the quarry, the remaining nomes prepare to
defend their home against the intruders. But how long will they
be able to keep the humans at bay - even _with_ the help of the
monster Jekub?
p/b blurb:
`And Grimma said, We have two choices. We can run, or we hide.
And they said, Which shall we do? She said, We shall Fight.'
A Bright New Dawn is just around the corner for thousands of
tiny nomes when they move into the ruined buildings of an
abandoned quarry. Or is it?
Soon strange things start to happen. Like the tops of puddles
growing hard and cold, and the water coming down from the sky
in frozen bits. Then humans appear and they _really_ mess
everything up. The quarry is to be re-opened and the nomes
must fight to defend their new home. But how long will they
be able to keep the humans at bay - even _with_ the help of
the monster Jekub?

`It loomed over them, so big that you had to keep on stepping
back and back to see how big it was. It wasn't a _thing_, it
was a bit of shaped sky...'
Somewhere in a place so far up there is no down, a ship is
waiting to take the nomes home - back to wherever they came
from. With their home in a quarry under threat, one nome -
Masklin - knows that they've got to find a way of contacting
this ship.
It means going to Florida (wherever that is), then getting to
the launch of a communications satellite (whatever _that_ is).
A ridiculous plan. Impossible. But Masklin doesn't know this
so he tries to do it anyway. And the first step is to try and
hitch a ride on a new kind of truck, a truck with wings -
Concorde ...
He doesn't want to cause any trouble. He only wants to steal
one of those space shuttle things. But when you're only four
inches high in a world full of humans, things have a nasty
habit of getting rather complicated...

Truckers
To the thousands of tiny nomes living under the floorboards of

ating news that the Store is to be demolished. Now the nomes have
to think. And they have to think BIG...

A Bright New Dawn is just around the corner for the nomes when
they move into an abandoned quarry. Or is it? For when humans
turn up, they begin to mess everything up again. Now the nomes
have two choices: to run, or to hide. Or, maybe, they could...

`Call any time you like,' said the Alderman. `I'm always in.

Not many people can see the dead (not many would want to).
But twelve-year-old Johnny Maxwell can. And the dead are
nothing like he expected. They don't lurch about. They don't
push through walls. They can't even _dance_ like they do in
videos. They're just people -- post-senior citizens -- and
they're always in.
At least, up until now. Now the council want to move them out
so the cemetery can be sold as a building site. But the dead
have learned a thing or two from Johnny. They're not going to
take it lying down... especially since it's Halloween tomorrow.
Besides, they're beginning to find that life is a lot more fun
than it was when they were... well... alive. Especially if they

h/cvr blurb:
THERE WAS A FLASH OF LIGHT, THE AIR FLICKERED... AND THE WORLD
CHANGED. IT'S MAY 21, 1941, THOUGHT JOHNNY. IT'S WAR.
Mrs Tachyon the bag-lady is not the sort of person you'd normally
_choose_ to hang out with. But when Johnny Maxwell and his friends
find her semi-conscious in an alley, they have to do _something_...
as long it it's not the kiss of life.
The more time Johnny spends with her, the more he finds that Mrs
Tachyon isn't the ranting old nutter everyone thinks she is.
She seems to hold the key to different times, different eras -
including the Blackbury Blitz in 1941. Suddenly _now_ isn't the
safe place Johnny once though it was, as he finds himself bound
up more and more with _then_. And, as time shifts beneath him,
and the shopping mall and TV arials melt into air-raid sirens and
ration books, Johnny wonders just how much changing the past can
really change the future...
This time-stoppingly funny, richly entertaining new adventure from
the master of fantastical and irreverent wit, Terry Pratchett, is
the third in the series about Johnny Maxwell, following _Only You
Can Save Mankind_ and _Johnny and the Dead_.

According to the Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter -
the world's only _totally reliable_ guide to the future - the
world will end on a Saturday.
Next Saturday, in fact.
Just after tea.
Which means that Armageddon will happen on a Saturday night.
There will be seas of fire, rains of fish, the moon turning to
blood and the massed armies of Heaven and Hell will sort it out
once and for all.
Which is a major problem for Crowley, Hell's most approachable
demon and former serpent, and his opposite number and old friend
Aziraphale, genuine angel and Soho bookshop owner. They _like_ it
down here (or, in Crowley's case, _up_ here).
So they've got no alternative but to stop the Four Motorcyclists
of the Apocalypse, defeat the marching ranks of the Witchfinder's
army* and - somehow - stop it all happening.
Above all (or, in Aziraphale's case, _below_ all) they need to
find and kill the Antichrist, currently the most powerful creature
on Earth.
This is a shame.
Because he's eleven years old, loves his dog even though it's real-
ly a Satanic hellhound under all that hair, really cares about the
environment and is the sort of boy anyone would be proud to have as
a son. He's also totally invulnerable, and a nice kid.
And if that isn't enough, they've still got Sunday to deal with. . .

Can you recognise a real, unadulterated cat when you see one?
Or have you too grown used to the boring, mass-produced cats
the advertising industry adores?
Real cats never eat from bowls (at least not the ones marked
CAT).
Real cats never wear flea collars . . . or appear on birthday
cards . . . or chase anything with a bell in it.
Real cats do eat quiche. And giblets. And butter. And anything
else left on the table. They can hear a fridge door opening two
rooms away.
Real cats don't need names. But they often get called them.

"Twenty Pence With Envelope and Seasonal Greeting". "Final Reward" was
published in the magazine _GM_ (10/88) and is about a barbarian and a
shopping trolly; "Theatre of Cruelty", appeared in the W.H.Smith freebie
'zine Bookcase, #45 (jul-aug 1993)[no ISSN], illustr. with artwork (some-
what overprinted by the text) by Josh Kirby, spread across the bottom of
the two pages, and was expanded for programme book of OryCon 15 convention
[see _Wizards of Odd_, below]. "History in the Faking" was published in
the Weekend section of The Evening Standard, London 2/2/90; "The Megabyte
Drive to Believe in Santa Claus" was in the Western Daily Press, Bristol,
24/12/96; "Let There Be Dragons" (guest of honour speech given at the Book-

of some of the main points discussed by ian stewart & jack cohen, but
it is, in my opinion, capable of being read by itself [ppint.]. its
chapters are entitled, but there is no title given for the story as a
whole, which is a story of Rincewind and the wizards of the Unseen
University].

Being Death's apprentice is a good job. Board and lodging, free
use of company horse, and you don't even need time off for your
grandmother's funeral. Looking like a skeleton is not compulsory,
either.
And you meet lots of interesting people. Although, of course, not
for very long.
All in all, it's a job for life.
Well, nearly. It would have been if Mort had remembered that he
wasn't supposed to rescue princesses. After that it all began to
go dead wrong.

players, a land in peril. And who stands between the Kingdom and
Destruction? Three witches. Granny Weatherwax (intolerant, self-
opinionated, powerful), Nanny Ogg (down-to-earth, vulgar) and

Death comes to us all. When he came to Mort, he offered him a job.
But when Mort is left in charge for an evening, he allows his heart
to rule his head and soon the whole of causality and the future of
the Discworld itself, are at rist. Along the way, Mort encounters not
only Death's adopted daughter, Yeabell - who has been 16 for 35 years
and his mysterious man servant Albert - whose cooking can harden an
artery at 10 paces - but also an incompetent wizard with a talking
doorknocker and a beautiful, but rather bad-tempered and dead,
princess.
On Terry Pratchett's Discworld, Death really is a 7 foot skeleton in
a black hooded robe and weilding a scythe. He is also fond of cats,
enjoys a good curry, and rides around the scies on a magnificent white
horse called Binky.

Terry Pratchett's infamous city of Ankh-Morpork is under threat
from a 60-foot-fire-breathing dragon, summoned by a secret society
of malcontented tradesmen.
Defending Ankh-Morpork against this threat is the entire, underpaid,
undervalued City Night Watch - a drunken and world-weary Captain, a
cowardly and overweight Sergeant, a small opportunistic Corporal of
dubious parentage...and their newest recruit, Lance-Corporal Carrot,
who is upright, literal, law-abiding and keen. Aiding them in their
fight for truth, justice and the Ankh-Morporkian way are a small
swamp dragon and the Librarian of Unseen University (who just happ-
ens to be an orangutan).
Stephen Briggs has been involved in amateur dramatics for over 25
years and he assures us that the play can be staged without needing
the budget of Industrial Light and Magic. Not only that, but the
cast should still be able to be in the pub well before closing time.

to tackle a threat to their city. A threat at least as deadly as a

It kills without compunction. It is the first gun on the Discworld.
The original Watch - Captain Vimes, Sergeant Colon, Corporal Carrot
and Corporal Nobbs - are joined by some new recruits, selected to
reflect the city's ethnic make-up - Lance-Constables Cuddy (a dwarf),
Detritus (a troll) and Angua (a w..., well, best to find out for

DISCWORLD IS ABOUT TO ROCK...
Deputising for DEATH was never going to be easy, not least when he
has gone walkabout in search of the Meaning of Life - without even
leaving a forwarding address. But for his granddaughter, Susan, it
becomes even more difficult when she breaks one of the cardinal
rules of the family business - don't get involved!
All around the Disc, crowds are shouting out for Buddy Celyn and
The Band With Rocks In. They are in the grip of a new and danger-
ous music and Buddy is under its thumb. It's alive, it changes
people - and it won't fade away.
Grain by grain, Buddy's time is running out and Susan has to save
him - it's not going to be easy when she looks more like the Tooth
Fairy than the Grim Reaper...

The World is Round... And Also Flat!
It's obvious really. Everyone [1] knows it.
The Disc rests on the back of four giant elephants, who in turn stand
on the back of Great A'Tuin, the only turtle to form the basis of an
entire branch of astrophysics.
For the last few years, events on the Discworld have been chronicled
in the works of Terry Pratchett. Fans have learned of the adventures
of Rincewind, the incompetent wizard, Granny Weatherwax, the witch
[known to trolls as "She Who Must Be Avoided]. Captain Carrot the six-
foot dwarf, Archchancellor Ridcully, Susan Sto Helit [granddaughter of
Death], and a cast of strange and unique characters.
Now, thanks to a special arrangement [rumoured to involve Mr Dibbler
of Ankh-Morpork, special consultancy on combat rules from Cohen the
ctogenarian Barbarian, and a vampire lawyer], it's time for roleplay-
ers to make their way to the far end of the probability curve and...
THRILL to the distinctive sights, sounds, and smells [especially
smells] of Ankh-Morpork, most dubious city in the multiverse!
Sail the Circle Sea in ursuit of wealth, glory, pirate gold, or a
suntan!
INTERVENE in the on-going racial rivalry of trolls and dwarves [watch
out for flying axes]!
AVOID the attentions of Death, Fate, the Lady, and the Patrician!
WONDER why they bought a second meat pie from Mr Dibbler!]
RUN AWAY from an angry Swamp Dragon [two feet of mindless fury and
hhigh-explosive digestion]!
LEARN why Casanunda [second greatest lover on the Discworld] needs
a stepladder.
Complete with Discworld magic, a guide to the best inns, Things from
the Dungeon Dimensions, Gaspode the Wonder Dog, and a Thousand Eleph-
ants. [Well, maybe we lied about the elephants.]
[1] Except the devout followers of the Great God Om, who firmly be-
lieve it's a sphere.

wise known as WYRD SISTERS
Three witches on a stormy heath, a king cruelly murdered, a usurper
on the throne, rivers of blood, lots of trees - is this beginning to
sound familiar? Add to that a young prince adrift from his rightful
inheritance, a travelling band of thespians, a fool who speaks the
truth, and some jokes - and a play within a screenplay, and you have
the essence of Shakespeare without having to read thirty-seven plays.
In fact you have the unexpurgated screenplay of one of Terry Prat-

All is not well in the Ankh-Morpork Opera House. A ghost stalks
the dark corridors, leaving strange letters for the management
and ... killing people. Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg, two
Lancre witches, investigate, and are soon involved in all kinds
of skulduggery, mayhem and ear-splittingly loud singing.
Terry Pratchett's phenomenally popular Discworld novel, 'Maskerade',
has been skilfully adapted by Stephen Briggs with suitably dramatic
panache. Quirky and original characters, a labyrinthine plot and
numerous witty one-liners make this a treat for Discworld fans and
'uninitiated' theatregoers alike.

GURPS Discworld brought roleplayers to Terry Pratchett's

opens new areas of the Discworld's geography and recent
history for adventure.
This book includes:
A Guide to recent events on the Disc, including the Opening
of EcksEcksEcksEcks and the Communications Revolution.
Notes and GURPS packages for five new non-human types
(Bogeymen, Elfkin, Gargoyles, Gnolls and Zombies).
Additional ideas and optional rules concerning Discworld
magic and life at Unseen University.
Templates to make character generation easier, from Bandits
and Student Wizards to Assassins and Small Gods. (As a
bonus, many of these are suitable for use in a wide range
of other fantasy campaigns.)
Campaign settings - four previously undescribed locations
across the Disc, suitable as bases of operation or places
for long adventures.
Adventure ideas, from the Quest for Bananas [1] to Sektober-
fest in NoThingfjord.
All this, and rats, dinosaurs, backpackers, surfers, and a
lot of people called Igor . . .
[1] Much cooler than Fire.

Blurb:
For the newcomer and the old hand alike the Discworld can be a
fatally confusing planet. From the great city of Ankh-Morpork,
featuring a river you could skateboard across if it wasn't so
knobbly, to the distant Ramptop Mountains and the mysterious
Counterweight Continent, the Discworld is a place where Death
waits around every corner...
For safety's sake, you need a guide.
And here it is. Terry Pratchett and Stephen Briggs, respectively
chronicler and cartographer of the Discworld, have produced the
one and only definitive guide to the flat planet - its geography,
its flora and fauna, its (many) religions, its architecture and
customs, and its outstanding personalities.
What is a Quantum Weather Butterfly? What does Death keep on his
desk? Would you drink Bearhugger's Homeopathic Sipping Whiskey?
How are the kings of Ankh-Morpork different from the kings of Ankh?
Everything the Discworld traveller needs to know is contained in
these pages, together with useful maps and illustrations of
significant places and emblems in this unique world.

Blurb:
They said it couldn't be done. Well, it has been done, proving them
wrong once again. After years of research, cunningly contrived in as
many minutes, the discworld has its map. It takes full account of the
historic and much documented expeditions of the Discworld's feted (or
at least fated) explorers: General Sir Roderick Purdeigh, Lars
Larsnephew, Llamedos Jones, Lady Alice Venturi, Ponce da Quirm and,
of course, Venter Borass.
Now travellers on this circular world can see it all: from Klatch
to the Ramtops, from Cori Celesti to the Circle Sea, from Genua to
Bhanbhanduc. The great cities of Hunghung, Pseudopolis, Al Khali
and, of course, Ankh-Morpork are place with loving care upon this
world which is carried through space by Great A'Tuin.

As Prophesised by Achmed the Mad!
'And lo, it came to pass, the denizens of Perfect Entertainment
did construct a game known to the world as Discworld II. For
forty days and forty nights did the heroes struggle with the
fiendish quests, until finally their occidental lobes were sore,
and they cried out to Jaala, goddess of lateral thinking, parallel
parking, pinball and miscellaneous entertainments, saying "How do
I get bees to sweat?" and "What do I do with the ironing board?"
And the spirit of Jaala moved through the world, and thus was the
Discworld II Strategy Guide created.'
_The Book of Kash (Prophet, 2nd Grade)._
Discworld is a planet rife with danger and magical mayhem and, when
Death disappears, a hero is desperately needed to bring him back.
Unfortunately for everyone Rincewind, the hapless magician, lands the
job ... and with a hero like that you need all the help you can get.

Not only an artistic and breathtaking view of Lancre but also
an interesting and informative guide to one of the Discworld's

Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg and Magrat Garlick live there.
Lancre could hardly be somewhere ordinary, could it ?
Magic glues the Discworld together and a lot of it ends up in
Lancre, principal Kingdom of the Ramtop Mountains. Between
Uberwald and Whale Bay, the Octarine Grass Country and the
Widdershins Ocean lies the most exciting and dangerous terrain
in all Discworld. The Ramtops supply Discworld with most of its
witches and wizards. The leaves on the trees in the Ramtops move
even when there is no breeze. Rocks go for a stroll in the even-
ing. Even the land, at times, seems alive.
The mapp may only be two-dimensional, but watch it very carefully
and you might see it jostle about a bit.

The unpredictable fantasy land of Discworld floats through
space on the back of four elephants standing on a turtle. In
this calendar, with text from _The Discworld Companion_ (pub-
lished in 1994/95), Terry Pratchett and Stephen Briggs provide
a wealth of detail to guide the adventurous, yet discerning,
Discworld traveller. With each page, a different aspect of Disc-
world is explored -- its geography, inhabitants, leading citiz-
ens, culture and history. In fact a whole calendar full of inval-
uable facts, from A to Z, that Discworld afficionados cannot
live without.

Everyone needs a place to relax after a long day, after all. So
here is the place where the Grim Reaper can kick back and take
the load off his scythe. Here's the golf course that's not so
much crazy as insane, and the useless maze, and the dark gardens
- all brought (incongruously) to life. And here, for the first
time ever, you will find out the reason why Death can't under-
stand rockeries, and what happens to garden gnomes.
As Death rides Binky into the sunset (of other people's lives),
you can at last see what he gets up to when he's not at work.

this includes a new discworld story by terry, illustrative of
some of the main points made by ian stewart & jack cohen; the
individual chapters have titles, but none is given in the book
for the story as a whole. the story occupies approximately one
third of the book, its chapters alternating with those of the
exposition.
h/cvr blurb:
In the fantasy universe of the phenomenally best-selling
Discworld series, everything runs on magic and common sense.
The world is flat and million-to-one chances happen nine
times out of ten. Our world seems different - it runs on
rules, often rather strange ones. Science is our way of
finding out what those rules are. The appeal of Discworld
is that it mostly makes sense, in a way that particle
physics doesn't.
_The Science of Discworld_ uses the magic of Discworld
to illuminate the scientific rules that govern _our_
world. When a wizardly experiment goes adrift, the wiz-
ards of Unseen University find themselves with a pocket
universe on their hands: Roundworld, where neither magic
nor common sense seems to stand a chance against logic.
Roundworld is, of course, our own universe. With us
inside it (eventually). Guided (if that's the word) by
the wizards, we follow the story from the primal sing-
ularity of the Big Bang to the Internet and beyond. We
discover how puny and insignificant lives are against a
cosmic backdrop of creation and disaster. Yet, paradox-
ically, we see how the richness of a universe based on
rules has led to a complex world and at least one spec-
ies that tried to get a grip on what was going on...

New PPS to the introduction, The Story Starts Here:
"PPS Sometimes scientists change their minds. New Developments
cause a rethink. If this bothers you, consider how much damage
is being done to the world by people for whom new developments
do _not_ cause a rethink.
"This second edition has been changed to reflect three years
of scientific progress... forwards or backwards. (You will
find both.) And we've added two completely new chapters, one
on the life of dinosaurs, because the existing chapter on the
death of dinosaurs seemed a bit depressing, and one on cosmic
disasters, because in many ways the universe _is_ depressing.
"The Discworld story has proved more robust than the science.
As should be expected. Discworld makes so much more sense
than Roundworld does."
TP, IS & JC, January 2002
(and hopefully corrects the odd slip in the earlier edition).
p/b blurb:
When a thaumic experiment goes adrift, the wizards of Unseen
University find that they've accidentally created a new uni-
verse. Within it is a planet that they name Roundworld, an
extraordinary place where neither magic nor common sense seems
to stand a chance against logic.
The universe, of course, is our own. And Roundworld is Earth.
As the wizards watch their accidental creation grow, we follow
the story of our universe from the primal singularity of the
Big Bang to the evolution of life on Earth and beyond.
This original Terry Pratchett story, interwoven with chapters
from Jack Cohen and Ian Stewart, offers a wonderful wizards-
eye view of our universe. Once you've seen the world from a
Discworld perspective, it will never seem the same again...

The planet Earth has picked up a parasite life form - elves. They
get everywhere. And they like humans to be superstitious, fearful
and frightened of thunder. They're after our future and must be
stoped... but by who?
Enter the wizards of the Unseen University who, in the best-selling
_The Science of Discworld_ unwittingly created Earth and our own
universe. At the time they quite failed to notice humanity. (Well,
we've only been around for a million years, so we're easily over-
looked...) But now, at last, they've found us.
In _The Science of Discworld II_ science writers Ian Stewart and
Jack Cohen join forces again with fantasy author Terry Pratchett
to see just what happens as the wizards battle against the elves.
The renaissance, for example, is given a push. London is replaced
by a doxy Neanderthal village. The role of fat women in art is de-
veloped. And one very famous playwright gets born and writes The
Play.
_The Globe_ is a unique book, weaving together a fast-paced Disc-
world novelette with cutting-edge scientific commentary on the
evolution and deveolpment of the human mind, culture, language,
art, and science. The result - as the wizards grapple with the
nature of Good and Evil, and history is rewritten several times
over - is a fascinating and brilliantly original view of the world
we live in.
p/b blurb omits the third paragraph, "In _The Science of Disc-
world II_.. ..and writes The Play."

The Discworld started out as fantasy, but now it's all real. The
seasoned Discworld traveller knows exactly how to get from Madam's
Gardens to the Mended Drum (left up Easy Street, right onto Welcome
Soap, fork left onto Filigree Street and the Drum is on the left,
just opposite the Short Street turn). Travelling around a world so
well-defined, but dangerous, without a guide, could be a very
courageous choice.
Since the last revision to THE DISCWORLD (R) COMPANION, new areas of
the Disc have been explored, new characters discovered. We've trembled
under the chandelier at the Ankh-Morpork Opera House, we've flown with
vampyres over the mysterious country of the Uberwald, we've sliced
through time with the History Monks and we've marvelled at Mr.
Winter's humorously shaped vegetables.
This new, revised edition of the best-selling guide to the world's
most famous fictional world covers its flora and fauna, its
outstanding personalities, its customs, its institutions.

112pp; every major picture has a page or so's worth of words further
describing details and background of the character(s) depicted; their
intended place in the Discworld - as well as that they turned out to
make their own; their inspiration (if interesting, and if Terry still
remembers this); where Paul's managed to capture the character exactly
as Terry sees them in his mind's eye, and when they differ greatly;
(etc.).
[A lot of the larger illustrations run across from one page onto
that facing, and many are slightly occluded by e.g. an earlier piece,
showing the development of the concept or stages in its achievement:
this is definitely an art book for reading & re-reading, for looking
again & again, and maybe thinking about; definitely not one to for
splitting up, and plates framing. - ppint.]

9. Notes
(on publishers, ISBNs (International Standard Book Numbers), formats...
----------------------------------------
9.1 Note on uk publishers, ISBNs (International Standard Book Numbers)
The ten-digit International Standard Book Number is used to uniquely
identify an edition of a book (though not, in uk usage, each printing).
it consists of a first section, identifying the language ("0-" or "1-"
indicates english); a second section identifying the publisher, some-
times, now, the imprint - where one publisher has been taken over by
another). it is the last part of the isbn that is peculiar to the part-
icular edition of a book from the publisher identified by these prefixes
(the final tenth figure is a check digit, that allows transmission and
typing errors to be caught by computer systems - or, in theory, by hand).
UK publishers of Terry's books, and of anthologies containing his stories.
0-00- & 0-586- HarperCollins_Publishers_ (formerly William Collins & Sons,
before that truly fine merkin citizen, Rupert Murdoch, then xxxxian, added
them to his swagbag): included are the imprints HarperCollins, Voyager, etc;
Collins, whose p/b imprint was Fontana, had by then bought Granada Publish-
ing, who had themselves absorbed Mayflower, Rupert Hart-Davis, McGibbon &
Kee, Arco, Paladin, and others - not least, Panther, which house went back
to the fifties, when Panther Books was set up as an imprint of the publish-
ers, Hamilton & Co., Staffs... Pan Books (see 0-330-) was formerly associat-
ed with Collins by shared ownership of Pan, but was operationally separate;
0-09- indicates a book published by the Arrow division of Random House UK,
formerly part of Century-Hutchinson, formerly Arrow Books, the p/b imprint
of the long-established uk publishers, Hutchinson & Co., who were for a
decade or so owned by London Weekend Television. imprints included Legend
(now sold to Little, Brown [Warner UK], who own the Orbit imprint, and are
re-badging as Orbit books, as they reprint - and changing ISBNs accordingly
[see 1-85723-] - as of mid-1997), Ebury Press, Vermilion, & Red Fox, whose
p/bs and h/cvrs also use this prefix: Random House has recently been bought
by Bertelsmann, who also own Transworld Publishers [0-385-, 0-552- below];
0-19- is the prefix identifying Oxford University Press;
0-285- indicates Souvenir Press;
0-330- identifies Pan Books, formerly owned by a consortium of William
Collins, Granada and Thomas Tilling/British Electric Traction; now an
imprint of Macmillan Publishers, who owned, but now are a sister company
of, the merkin publisher, St. Martins Press (the owners of Tor Books till
this reorganisation): all are now parts of Holtzbrinck Publishing Holdings;
0-7522- is the prefix Macmillan use on their Boxtree imprint, formerly an
independent publisher;
0-385- and 0-552- are, respectively, the Doubleday (h/cvr) and Corgi (p/b)
imprints of Transworld Publishers, now owned by the Bertelsmann group of
Germany (as are the merkin publishers Bantam Doubleday Dell, who have the
rights to distribute these editions in Canada, where these rights are clear
to so do [and as also, now, are both Random House and Random House U.K.
into which latter Transworld Publishers have recently been incorporated]
Transworld also employ the 0-553- prefix for titles they publish under the
bantam imprint (confusing, as merkin Bantam also use 0-553-prefixed isbns);
0-416- and 0-7497- indicate Methuen Childrens Books imprints of the Reed
(a.k.a. Octopus Publishing) group, formerly imprints of A.B.P. Ltd. -
their adult consumer books imprints have recently (1997) been bought by
Random House U.K., who might've varied isbns on later reissue (isbn pre-
fix 0-09-); but whose Legend adult sf & fantasy list has, in turn, since
been sold on to Little, Brown (Time-Warner uk); the destination of Magnet
& Mammoth (ABP's Children's list p/bs) & MCB is Egmont Children's Books.
0-417- identifies Methuen Books, formerly an imprint of the Reed (a.k.a.
Octopus Publishing) group, formerly an imprint of A.B.P. Ltd, being
one of the publishers that went form that company together with Eyre &
Spottiswoode. I'm not yet sure whether they are owned by another of the
publishing/publisher-owning conglomerates now, or no.
0-450- indicates N.E.L. (New English Library), owned by Times-Mirror, inc.,
of Los Angeles when they published their paperback edition of the first of
two of Terry's early novels, and an imprint of Hodder & Stoughton when
they published the second, but now an imprint of Hodder Headline plc,
Hoddder & Stoughton having in turn been taken over by Headline Publishers,
who themselves were bought by W.H.Smith's, one of the the uk's two
dominant newspaper & magazine, and a major book publishers, wholesalers &
newsagents; they in turn have sold Hodder-Headline onto Hachette, who
also own 70% of Orion.
0-55214- and 0-5521- both indicate Prima Publishing, a division of Prima
Communications, Inc: the former, in the uk, and the latter, in merkia;
0-573- denotes publications of Samuel French Ltd.
0-575- identifies the once-independent Victor Gollancz Ltd., and its VGSF
imprint: both these are now imprints of Cassell, which is in turn owned
by Orion (since late 1998), who are themselves owned by Hachette; and also
Vista, which Cassell launched as an imprint of Cassell using that same stem,
after they bought Gollancz from merkin publishers, Houghton Miflin (who were
the owners of Victor Gollancz Ltd. from their purchase of it upon the retire-
ment of Livia Gollancz); see also 0-75281- etc. (Orion); titles on the vista
list are being re-badged and sometimes re-isbn-ed as orion millennium, or
as gollancz millennium, books as they are reprinted (and some, under the
mainstream orion imprint). (2000: millennium books are being re-badged and
possibly re-isbn-ed as reprinted by orion, as "gollancz paperbacks"...)
0-7522- is the prefix Macmillan use on their Boxtree imprint (see 0-330-);
0-75280-, 0-75281- & 0-75283- indicate Orion, whose Millennium imprint
formerly used (and again, now, sometimes still uses) 1-85798- as its
prefix. 70% owned by Hachette, the french publishing conglomerate, since
mid 1998. see also 0-575- (Gollancz, Vista) prefix.
0-7531-, 1-85089-, and 1-85695- identify Isis Publishing Ltd: these are
variously large print h/cvr and unabridged audio/b editions.
0-86140-, 0-900675- and 0-901072- all indicate Colin Smythe Ltd. Colin is
Terry's agent, and was the first to publish his books;
0-903007- identifies the Science Fiction Foundation.
1-85028- and 1-85585- indicate the Paper Tiger imprint, once of Dragon's
World publishers; both are now imprints of Collins-Brown; whilst
1-85286- identifies Titan Books Ltd;
1-85487- is used by Robinson Publishing, on their Mammoth imprint (not to
be confused with the children's imprint of Methuen, as was], as well as
upon others, such as Raven, and even Robinson;
1-85723- indicates the Orbit imprint of Little, Brown & Co. Ltd, the uk
book-publishing arm of AOL-Time-Warner, inc; originally the SF imprint of
the independent Futura Publishing, who were absorbed by that great czech
briton, robert maxwell, and sold off by the liquidators after he took an
ill-advised leak;
1-870824- identifies Beccon Publications.
1-876- is borne by Ink calendars; a subsidiary of Gibson Greetings Intl.
outside of xxxxia, but still an independent (if partially Gibson-owned)
publisher therein.
1-903047- identifies titles from No Exit Press.
----------------------------------------
9.2 Note on merkin publishers & ISBNs.
Merkin publishers of Terry's books, and of anthologies containing his stories.
0-06- HarperCollins_Publishers_, inc. (formerly Harper & Row, before that
truly fine merkin citizen, Rupert Murdoch, added them to his swagbag): in-
cluded are the imprints HarperCollins, HarperPrism, etc. [from 21 september
1999, HarperPrism has ceased to exist as an imprint, save for legacy stock,
being folded into the Eos imprint of murdoch's recent acquisition, Morrow/
Avon, from Hearst. see 0-380-.]
0-312- and 0-812- identify St. Martins Press (h/cvr & tp/b) and Tor Books
(mmp/b) respectively, Tor was formerly an independent publisher, though
the former prefix is now used on Tor h/cvr editions; i don't recall what
the St. Martins' isbns of Terry's early novels were, but they did not pro-
duce their own editions, iirc; rather, they re-dust-jacketed, and St. Mar-
tins-stickered, (run-ons of) Colin Smythe's editions for merkin distribn.
they were owned by Macmillan uk [not associated with Collier-Macmillan]
until february '98; all are now parts of Holtzbrinck Publishing Holdings;
0-380- indicates Avon, formerly an independent publisher, but acquired by
that truly fine merkin citizen, Rupert Murdoch, for his swagbag, from the
Hearst conglomerate. the HarperPrism list is being subsumed into Avon's
AvonEos sf/f list, and no future HarperPrism titles will appear after
those already in production. i don't yet know whether the back list will
be rebadged and re-isbned, nor whether the imprint will be renamed - as
HarperEos, or HarperAvonEos, or whatever.
0-385- on merkin books indicates Delacorte, which was the hardcover
imprint of Dell. long since subsumed into Bantam-Doubleday-Dell, the
sister company of the uk's Transworld Publishers, all of whom are but
tentacles of the Great Cthulh^W^W Bertelsmann transnational empire.
0-425- and 0-441- are both identifiers of the Berkley Publishing Group,
until recently owned by Matsushita of Japan, were then sold off to the
canadadadian drinks giant, Seagram, and are currently being absorbed by
the merkin wing of Penguin, which has been renamed Putnam-Penguin. or
ppossibly Penguin-Putnam. (and who knows what, next week ?)
0-441- indicates use of the Ace imprint, once an independent publisher;
0-451- indicates merkin imprints of New American Library (- originally
set up as merkin Penguin by Ian Ballantine and others; at the time they
started to publish merkin editions of Terry's books, they were owned by
Times-Mirror group of Los Angeles, and were the mother, or a sister, com-
pany of the british publisher, New English Library), Signet & Roc. They
are now imprints of Penguin, inc., or Putnam-Penguin (or whatever the
Great Penguin in darkest Harmondsworth has decided to call its merkin
publishing wing this week - possibly, "Dutton-Penguin"...). has also been
used by Penguin for Signet imprint in the uk - where, rather confusingly,
the Roc imprint borrowed from merkia uses the isbn prefix 0-140- as well
as 0-451-. happily, for we booksellers, bibliographers, collectors and
librarians ("*ooook* !"), no Signet/Roc uk book contains aught by Terry
- leastways, not *yet*...
0-5521- and 0-55214- both indicate Prima Publishing, a division of Prima
Communications, Inc: the former, in merkia, and the latter, in the uk;
0-7867- is the prefix for books published by Carroll and Graf;
0-86140- indicates Dufour, who distribute Colin Smythe's editions of Terry's
books, stickered and re-isbned appropriately;
0-894- identifies Workman Publishing, while
0-9630944- identifies Dreamhaven Books,
1-55634- publications of Steve Jackson Games,
1-57453- identifies Fantastic Audio audiobooks, and
1-886778- NESFA, the New England Science Fiction Association.

----------------------------------------
9.4 Notes on book formats.
audio/b "Audiobook" - a reading of the novel, or an abbreviation of it,
recorded on a number of compact cassettes. the Corgi audio/b range
is of abridgements narrated by Tony ("Baldrick") Robinson, filling
two cassettes per novel, running time circa three hours each; the
Isis audio/b range is of the complete novels narrated by either
Nigel ("Neil") Planer [or Celia Imries, on the first two witches
novels] and occupying variously six, or eight, cassettes; running
time varying widely between seven and a half, and eleven hours.
Neither publishers' audio/b cassettes are differentiated in a way
that blind or visually impaired (poorly-sighted) people can easily
distinguish; this is of less consequence with the corgi audio/bs,
as there are only two cassettes per novel to confuse; however, the
isis audio/b packaging does allow strict order to be followed - IF
the cassettes are ALWAYS returned to the appropriate position (and
preferably, the earlier, "odd" sides uppermost, or if suitably-
embossed, stiff plastic sticky tape (e.g. dymo(R) is used).
h/cvr "Hardcover" - the printed pages are published bound between boards
(generally cloth-covered: hence h/cvr editions also referred to as
"cloth"). the pages are properly sewn into signatures, and collec-
ted by being sewn to cloth tapes, and sewn and glued onto a backing
cloth, which is then glued to the inside edges of the cloth-covered
boards. the endpapers are then glued in to cover the insides of the
cloth-covered boards, and to the spine edges of the fly pages.
n.b. the gollancz/cassell plc editions of The Witches Trilogy and
The Death Trilogy, and Nanny Ogg's Cookbook are not so bound,
being in effect p/bs which happen to have board covers...
n.b. the gollancz/cassell miniature h/cvrs are not so bound, in that
the cloth elements of a proper binding are completely omitted.
[this note will need rewriting, should editions of Terry's books be
published in quarter, half, three-quarter or full leather bindings.]
kt/b this mixed p/b-h/cvr format, possibly uniquely to swedes' editions
of terry pratchett's books, is a paperback with "kartong" (paper-
board) covers; the swedish term is 'kartonnage'.
[thanks to gidjabolgo for explaining.]
mmp/b "Mass Market Paperback" - this term is descriptive of the distribut-
ion system used to make these merkin p/bs available to the retailer;
essentially, mmp/bs are treated as monthly magazines, their covers
being stripped and returned for credit, if unsold on the arrival of
the following month's titles. in _size_, the mmp/b is approximately
the same as the uk "a format p/b"; but virtually all uk p/bs are in
fact tp/bs. (cf. "p/b", "tp/b", "yp/b")
p/b "Paperback" - the signatures are blocked together and then trimmed,
with the resultant individual pages then being glued to the inside
spine of a card cover (also known as "perfect" binding). although
p/bs have been produced with their pages sewn in signatures, these
in turn being glued either to the inside spine of the card cover (or
first into paper or cloth tape, and this to the card cover), no such
editions exist of Terry's books. [but see the feetnotes to "h/cvr".]
the uk "a format p/b" is roughly the same size as the merkin mmp/b;
the "b format p/b" is approximately an inch and a quarter taller and
wider that the a format p/b. (see also "mmp/b", "tp/b" and "yp/b")
n.b. p/bs listed above are a format p/b, unless otherwise indicated.
tp/b "Trade Paperback" - this term is descriptive of the distribution
system used to make these (nowadays mostly merkin, for fiction)
p/bs available to the retailer; tp/bs are not sold via the news
wholesalers, nor the retail outlets they supply (news-stand, chain-
store and/or mom+pop store racks, etc.), but via the book trade.
they are not "strippable for credit". the tp/b may be a p/b of any
size, and so is not strictly of any particular format. (cf. "mmp/b",
"p/b" & "yp/b")
yp/b "Yuppieback" - this term is descriptive of the uk p/bs manufactured
from trimmed signatures of the h/cvr printing: it is a recent uk
innovation, normally published at the same time as, or three or six
months after, the h/cvr. the term was derived from the somewhat res-
tricted perceived custom for this edition: "those who can afford it
(the space as well as the cost) buy the hardcover, and normal people
like you and me buy the paperback: that only leaves yuppies, to buy
the yuppiebacks." the yp/b is necessarily of the dimensions of the
trimmed h/cvr edition signatures. (cf. "mmp/b", "p/b" and "tp/b")
