Blurb:
Jerome K. Jerome meets _Lord of the Rings_ (with a
touch of _Peter Pan_) ...
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_.

Blurb:
As it moves towards a seemingly inevitable collision
with a malevolent red star, the Discworld has only one
possible saviour. Unfortunately, this happens to be
the singularly inept and cowardly 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.

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 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_.

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 ....

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
Guards! Guards! is the eighth Discworld novel - and after
this, dragons will never be the same again!

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 immortal, 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 alchemists of the Discworld have discovered the magic
of the silver screen. But what is the dark secret of
Holy Wood hill?
It's up to Victor Tugelbend ("Can't sing. Can't dance.
Can handle a sword a little") and Theda Withel ("I come
from a little town you've probably never heard of") to
find out ...
Moving Pictures, the ninth Discworld novel, is a

Blurb:
Death is missing - presumed ... er ... gone.
Which leads to the kind of chaos to *always* expect when
an important public service is withdrawn.
Ghosts and poltergeists fill up the Discworld. Dead
Rights activist Reg Shoe - "You Don't Have to Take This
Lying Down" - suddenly has more work than he had ever
dreamed of. And newly deceased 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 impediment, 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.

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 ...

Blurb:
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?)

It's a hot Midsummer Night. The crop circles are turning up
everywhere -- even on the mustard-and-cress of Pewsey Ogg,
aged four. And Magrat Garlick, witch, is going to be married
in the morning... Everything ought to be going like a dream.
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
supporting cast of dwarfs, wizards, trolls, Morris Dancers and
one orang-utan. And lots of hey-nonny-nonny and blood all
over the place.
[*] But with tons of *style*.

``Be a MAN in the City Watch! The City watch needs MEN!''
But what it's -got- includes Corporal Carrot (technically a
dwarf), Lance-constable Cuddy (really a dwarf),
Lance-constable Detritus (a troll), Lance-constable Angua (a
woman ... most of the time) and Corporal Nobbs (disqualified
from the human race for shoving).
And they need all the help they can get. Because there's evil
in the air and murder afoot and something very nasty in the
streets.
It'd help ifit could all be sorted out by noon, because that's
when Captain Vimes is officially retiring, handing in his
badge and getting married.
And since this is Ankh-Morpork, noon promises to be not just
high, but stinking.

Other children got given xylophones. Susan just had to ask
her grandfather to take his vest off.
Yes. There's a Death in the family.
It's hard to grown up normally when Grandfather rides a white
horse and weilds a scythe - especially when you have to take
over the family business, and everyone mistakes you for the
Tooth Fairy.
And especially when you have to face the new and addictive
music that has entered the Discworld.
It's Lawless. It changes people.
It's called Music with Rocks In.
It's got a beach and you can dance to it, but ...
It's alive.
And it won't fade away.

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 [sic] 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.

The oldest and most inscrutable empire on the Discworld is in
turmoil, brought about by the revolutionary treatise /What I
Did On My Holidays/. Workers are uniting, with nothing to
lose but their water buffaloes. Warlords are struggling for
power. War (and Clancy) are spreading through the ancient

And all that stands in the way of terrible doom for eveyone

The Opera House, Ankh Morpork . . . a huge, rambling building,
where masked figures and hooded shadows do wicked deeds in the
wings . . . where dying the death on stage is a little bit more
than just a metaphor . . . where innocent young sopranos are
lured to their destiny by an evil mastermind in a hideously
deformed evening dress . . .
Where . . . there's a couple of old ladies in pointy hats eating
peanuts in the stalls and looking at the big chandelier and
saying things like: 'There's an accident waiting to happen if
ever I saw one'.
Yes . . . Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg, the Discworld's
greatest witches, are back for an innocent night at the opera.
So there's going to be _trouble_ (but nevertheless a good

Who's murdering harmless old men? who's poisoning the Patrician?
As autumn fogs hold Anhk-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 ppoint 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.

It's the night before Hogswatch. And it's too quiet.
There's snow, there're robins, there're trees covered with decor-
ations, but there's a notable lack of the big fat man who delivers
the toys . . .
He's _gone_.
Susan the governess has got to find him before morning, otherwise
the sun won't rise. And unfortunately her only helpers are a raven
with an eyeball fixation, the Death of Rats and an oh god of hang-
overs.
Worse still, _someone_ is coming down the chimney. This time he's

2. Pre-Discworld
These books are Terry's earlier efforts, and came before the success
of "The Colour of Magic"; though The Carpet People was re-written later.

2.1 The Carpet People (1st Edition)
%A Terry Pratchett
%T The Carpet People
%I Colin Smythe (h/cvr)
%D 1971
ISBN 0-900675-49-7
Price : 1.90 British Pounds
Hardback 17cm x 22cm, 195 pages
33 B&W illustrations by _the author_
Cover shows various creatures licking a large white cube.
Blurb:
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.

Blurb:
"In the beginning, there was nothing but endless flatness.
Then came the Carpet..."
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 now 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...

As heir to a huge fortune, he had an excellent robot

not always fatal.

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 ...

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?

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.
And one nome, Masklin, knows that they've got to try and
contact 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 ...

The mighty alien fleet from the very latest computer game
thunders across the computer screen...
Hands poised on the joystick, Johnny prepares to blow them
into the usual million pieces...
And they send him a message: WE SURRENDER.
They're not supposed to do that! Where does it say in the
manual that they're supposed to do that?
But they've done it. This time they don't want to die. They
just want to go home.
Johnny is the only human who knows. So he has to learn how to
wage all-out Peace, and they don't make joysticks with a
'Don't Fire' button...
It's hard, trying to Save Mankind from the Galactic Hordes.
It's even harder trying to save the Galactic Hordes from
Mankind. But it's only a game, isn't it.

`Call any time you like,' said the Alderman. `I'm always in.
That's something you learn to be good at, when you're dead
...'
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 beginnign to find that life is a lot more fun
than it was when they were ... well ... alive. Especially if
they break a few rules ...
An irreverent and highly-entertaining new fantasy tale
featuring Johnny Maxwell, first met in Terry Pratchett's
``Only You Can Save Mankind''.

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...

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 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.

Particular thanks to Ralf E. Stranzenbach and Bernd Reh for the most

7. Miscellany
This section lists short stories, trade articles, and similar items by
Terry, and graphic novels, dramatisations, etc. based upon his work.
----------------------------------------
7.1 Short Stories [it'd be more logical to list Terry's stories either
alphabetically by title, or in chronological order of publication, and
then give the books and magazines in which they may be found... - but
i don't have the titles of all Terry's published short stories - ppint.]
His first short story was "The Hades Business", published in Science
Fantasy #60 (8/63). He has also had "Night Dweller" in _New Worlds_
#187 (c.2/69), and _Time Out_ magazine's Christmas 1987 issue (number
904/5) had "Twenty Pence With Envelope and Seasonal Greeting". There
was another one published in the magazine GM about a barbarian and a
shopping trolly. If someone can email me details I would be most apprec-
iative. [orin@lspace.org][+ a cc would be appreciated: ppint@lspace.org]
He has short stories in several collections:
* Digital Dreams. This is a collection of computer related sf short
stories, edited by David V. Barrett. Terry's story, " "
is apparently a little disturbing.
Also included is " ", a poem by Neil Gaiman.
(N.E.L. p/b ISBN 0-450-53150-3; this book is now out of print.)
* After The King. This is a Tolkien tribute anthology of fantasy stories
edited by Martin H. Greenberg. Terry's story is "Troll Bridge", and it

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.

Terry Pratchett takes Shakespear's Macbeth and then turns it up 'till
the knob comes off. It's all there - a wicked duke and duchess, the
ghost of the murdered king, dim soldiers, strolling 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 Magrat Garlick (naive, fond of
occult jewelly and bunnies)

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.

Being a concise and possibly even accurate MAPP of the Great
City of the DISCWORLD
Including Unseen University and environs!
Also finest assortment of avenues, lanes, squares, and
alleys for your walking pleasure
"There's a saying that all roads lead to Ankh-Morpork. And it's
wrong. All roads lead away from Ankh-Morpork, but sometimes
people walk along them the wrong way."
from Moving Pictures
Ankh-Morpork! City of One Thousand Surprises (according to the famous
publication by the Guild of Merchants)! All human life is there! Although,
if it walks down the wrong alley, often quite briefly!
The city celebrated in the bestselling Discworld series by Terry
Pratchett has been meticulously mapped for the first time. It's
all here -- from *Unseen University* to the *Shades*, from major
landmarks like the *Patrician's Palace* to little-known, er, nooks
like *Dwarf Bread Museum* in *Whirligig Alley*. See the famous
streets along which so many heroes have walked, in some cases
quite hurriedly!
As leading Ankh-Morpork entrepeneur C.M.O.T. Dibbler would say: A
snip at any price -- and that's cutting our own throat. Well,

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.

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.

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 anthologies containing his stories.
0-330- identifies Pan Books, formerly owned by a consortium of William
Collins, and Thomas Tilling/British Electric Traction; now an imprint of
Macmillan Publishers, who own, or are a sister company of the merkin pub-
lisher, St. Martins Press (the owners of Tor Books);
0-385- and 0-552- are imprints of Transworld Publishers Ltd., owned by the
Bertelsmann group of Germany (as are the merkin publishers Bantam Doubleday
Dell, who distribute these editions in Canada); respectively, the Doubleday
(h/cvr) and Corgi (p/b) imprints;
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. - they
have recently (1997) been bought by Random House U.K., who may vary isbns
upon later reissue (their children's imprint being Red Fox, prefix 0-09-);
0-450- indicates N.E.L. (New English Library), owned by Times-Mirror, inc.,
of Los Angeles when they published paperback editions of two of Terry's
early novels, but now an imprint of Hodder Headline plc;
0-575- identifies the once-independent Victor Gollancz Ltd., and its VGSF
imprint; both these are now imprints of Cassell plc., as is Vista, which
Cassell plc have launched using that same identifier since buying Gollancz
from merkin publishers, Houghton Miflin;
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.
0-7531- and 1-85695- both identify Isis Publishing Ltd;
0-900675- and 0-86140- both indicate Colin Smythe Ltd. Colin is Terry's
agent, and was the first to publish his books;
0-9630944- identifies [e-nudge me if i've forgotten to look up this - ppint.]
1-85028- indicates the Paper Tiger imprint of Dragon's World Ltd: they are
currently (4/97) in receivership, and these details may change; while

Merkin publishers of Terry's books.
0-06- HarperCollins_Publishers_, inc. (formerly Harper & Row, before that
truly fine merkin citizen, Rupert Murdoch, added them to his swagbag);
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; i don't
recall what the St. Martins' isbns of Terry's early novels were, but they
did not produce their own editions; rather, they re-dust-jacketed, and
St. Martins-stickered, (?run-ons of?) Colin Smythe's editions for merkin
distribution.
0-425- and 0-441- are both identifiers of the Berkley Publishing Group, who
are owned sfaicr by Matsushita of Japan, though 0-441- indicates use of the
Ace imprint, once an independent publisher;
0-451- indicates the merkin imprint, 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, company of the
british publisher, New English Library). They are now an imprint of Penguin,
inc. (or whatever the Great Penguin in Harmondsworth has decided to call its
merkin publishing wing this week - possibly, "Dutton-Penguin"...); while
0-894- identifies Workman.
0-5521- and 0-55214- both indicate Prima Publishing, a division of Prima

Sperling & Kupfer), "90-" dutch ("90-274-" Het Spectrum), & "91-" swedish
("91-7898-" Target Games), language books' isbns.
----------------------------------------
9.4 Note on book formats.
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 signiatures, 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 cassell plc edition of The Witches Trilogy is not so bound,
being in effect a p/b which happens to have board covers...
n.b. the cassell plc miniature h/cvrs are not so bound, in that the
cloth elements are omitted.
(this note will need rewriting, should editions of Terry's books be
published in quarter, half, three-quarter or full leather bindings.)
audio/b "Audiobook" - a reading of the novel, or an abbreviation of it, re-
corded on a number of compact cassettes. the Corgi audio/b range is
of abridgements narrated by Tony ("Baldrick") Robinson, occupying
two cassettes per novel; the Isis audio/b range is of the complete
novels narrated by either Nigel ("Neil") Planer, or Celia Imries,
and occupying variously six, or eight cassettes.
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. (see also "p/b", "tp/b", "yp/b")
p/b "Paperback" - the signiatures 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
there have been produced p/bs with pages sewn in signiatures, these
in turn being glued either to the inside spine of the card cover, or
first into a 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 sys-
tem used to make these merkin p/bs available to the retailer; tp/bs
are not sold via the news wholesalers, nor the retail outlets they
supply (news-stands, chainstore and mom+pop store racks, etc.), but
only via the book trade. they are not "strippable for credit". the
tp/b may be a p/b of any size. (see also "mmp/b", "tp/b" and "yp/b")
yp/b "Yuppieback" - this term is descriptive of the uk p/bs manufactured
from trimmed signiatures 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 -
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 same dimensions as
the h/cvr edition signiatures. (see also "mmp/b", "tp/b" and "yp/b")
