-
- Note on Publishers, ISBNs, and book formats at end of this bibliography;
- but briefly, "p/b" indicates a uk paperback, "mmp/b" a merkin (us) mass
- market paperback edition, whilst "h/cvr" signifies a hardcover edition.
-
- %A = author %T = title %I = imprint %D = date of publication
-
- Note on 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 has graced - or disgraced
- (<g>) the covers of the uk editions of the Discworld books ever since -
- with one exception: Transworld tested a "serious" cover 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 lit-
- erature, by visibly non-serious cover art. the attempt was not entirely
- successful, and has not been repeated - or even reprinted.
-
- the (merkin) mmp/bs from New American Library (later Penguin USA) 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 true
- to the descriptions of the characters in Terry's text; rather, the reverse).
- apparently the Signet/Roc mmp/bs of _The Light Fantastic_, _Equal Rights_,
- & _Mort_ use josh kirby's artwork. [these not seen by myself; but i suspect,
- this being so, the cover art of _The Colour of Magic_ does, too.(ppint.)]
-
- later merkin h/cvr editions published by HarperCollins have altogether
- more "serious" cover art: designs deemed to be symbolic of the novels,
- rather than illustrative of them, by Michael Sabanosh, & Carl D.Galian.

- 1st edition h/cvr blurb (thank-you for the d-j, colin smythe :-) ):
-
- 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 bestselling
- titles currently in print, every one of which has received rapt-
- urous 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, Twoflower, his world's
- first tourist, through a series of increasingly hazardous and out-
- rageous adventures. Assisting Rincewind's rather inconsistent pow-
- ers in protecting Twoflower 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 prin-
- cesses 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]
-
- 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_.

-

- 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 in-
- herits 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 chauv-
- inistic (not to say mysogynistic) 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 accept-
- ed. However, he soon found that romantic longings did not mix eas-
- ily 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 adventure: Conina the
- barbarian hairdresser, Nijel the Destroyer (whose mother still makes
- him wear woolly underwear) and possibly 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 naturally,
- 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 politics.
- 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 record-
- ed 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-regarded 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 ...

- you keep dreaming about seven thin cows and seven fat cows* and, on

-
- 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 incom-
- petent 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 meet-
- ing 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.

- The 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.

- _after_ that, find the fabulous, almost mythical, world of the
- Jokers, who were only known by a few incredible artifacts

-
- Any good P-Mathematician could find out this information. Some-

- 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

- 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. . .
-
- * All two of them.
-
- p/b blurb:
-
- 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...

- %I Vista (a format p/b) [line illoes]
- %D 1997
- ISBN 0-575-60155-8
-
- first edition p/b blurb:
-
- 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.
-
- "Yaargeroffoutofityarbastard" does nicely.

- Blurb:
- 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

- Blurb:
- 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

- 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!

- Terry Pratchett's phenomenally popular Discworld novel, 'Maskerade',

- panache. Quirky and original characters, a labyrinthine plot and
- numerous witty one-liners make this a treat for Discworld fans and

- And the spirit of Jaala moved through the world, and thus was the
- Discworld II Strategy Guide created.'

- Discworld is a planet rife with danger and magical mayhem and, when
- Death disappears, a hero is desperately needed to bring him back.

- exposition.
-
- 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 in-
- side 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...

-
- 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.

- 0-006-, 0-022- HarperCollins_Publishers_ (formerly William Collins & Sons,
- before that truly fine merkin citizen, Rupert Murdoch, then xxxxian, added

- 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-

- cluded are the imprints HarperCollins, HarperPrism, etc;
-
- 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;
-
- 0-425- and 0-441- are both identifiers of the Berkley Publishing Group,

-
- 0-451- indicates merkin imprints of New American Library (- originally

- 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-. happily,
- for booksellers, bibliographers and librarians ("ooook !"), no Signet/Roc
- uk book contains aught by Terry - leastways, not *yet*...
-

- Communications, Inc. - the former, in merkia, and the latter, in the uk;

- 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).
-
-
- 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 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.]
-
-
- 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/ 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")
