I got a phone call from Waterstones here in Brussels yesterday at about 6 pm to say my pre-ordered copy was in - I got there by half past six and picked it up - and I am now about half way through it.

Discworld Companion, the 3rd revised edition (the 4th in all) comes out tomorrow. One wonders how many more of these will be published!

Terry has now reached the 200 mark for published works.

Eh, did The Illustrated Wee Free Men not come out Nov 1th, 2007?

Said so on Amazon.couk last year, but just noticed now that this date is changed to October 6th, 2008 (a whole 11 months later than they originally said).

Is it another case of Amazon just making up dates so people will pre-order & they can have your money faster? I really hate when they do that.

Did the Discworld Companion, the 3rd revised edition, come out last year at all? Haven't seen it in shops or online since.

I don't think it exists! Another Amazon 'made up' book I fear...

Just heard there's an illustrated version of Carpet People coming out soon.

Pratchett himself has done the illustrations himself, just like he did for the original edition, so should be interesting!

Unseen Academicals is out now.

As is the Illustrated Carpet People. Having seen this book in the shop, it is not what I would call an illustrated novel. It is not illustrated throughout. Instead, 8-10 coloured illustrations have simply been placed in the middle of the book!

Is "I Shall Wear Midnight" the next book out?

Or is it "Raising Taxes"?

Either way, when is it out?


It's a metaphor of human bloody existence, a dragon. And if that wasn't bad enough, it's also a bloody great hot flying thing.

Nice one, I'd forgotten what a great list you've made. Just had another look, awesome.

List updated with one new article & a foreword, along with the recent publication of I Shall Wear Midnight.

I also hear there will be another short stories compilation but no date yet or decision on what will be included in it.

Belated thanks Mal!

Tweaked it a small bit again today. Can't wait for the new collection of Pratchett's writings.

It's supposed to be along the lines of Once more with footnotes, containing short stories, speeches, articles, etc but much larger. Think I read about it on Colin Smythe's website.

Hopefully it won't be a rushed job & as assumingly there won't be as much copyright issues, will contain hard to get titles, such as the only 2 short stories which have eluded me: Night Dweller and History in the Faking.

I know for example Night Dweller, PTerry's 2nd ever short story, published in his teens, has never been republished.

The list should be up to date. I have a look every so often.

The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents: a terrifyingly terrific muscial was Released August 15th, 2011.

Suppose I'll get it as I'm a completionist but getting a bit annoyed with so many spin offs lately to be honest!

Forthcoming Items To Look Out For:

1. Snuff (Release date: October 13th, 2011)
