Making Money - Terry Pratchett Books Unseen Message Board

As you can see, the cover for the next DW novel "Making Money" is out.

Paul Kidby in the related news tidbit:

Quote:

I spoke with Terry Pratchett this afternoon and he filled me in with his latest news;

" The news here is that Making Money has gone off to the publisher; currently the various works in progress are The Folklore of Discworld, which I am working on with Jacqueline Simpson (co-author of the Lore of the Land, among many other books on folklore), Lu-Tse’s Yearbook of Enlightenment (the next Discworld diary) and Nation, a young adult book for next year, which is not Discworld, and not what people are usually thinking about when they use the term fantasy. I am about 10,000 words into it already and actually wrote about 5,000 words of it when I was at the Australian convention a few weeks ago. Well, if the jetlag means you are wide awake at three o’clock in the morning, why waste the time! "

It will be nice to see Moist again.

I don't know why I always thought he'd be a one hit wonder... Maybe I believed too much in his character description.

I have to admit I'm more excited about 'Nation'. Not that I dislike Moist, but this little tidbit

Paper money, I note (no pun intended) - if memory serves this is the first time it has appeared outside the Agatean Empire.

I agree, I really felt in tune with his character, which made Going Postal a really good read for me.

Going Postal felt like a return to the DW of previous books after the rather worrying seque of MR and the interesting interlude of NW. I had hoped Moist would return, and this should be interesting indeed! After GP, I wondered if Pterry was going to take a look at the bizarre notion of fiat money that we use every day - and, of course, Moist is the perfect character to do it with.

Ooh, it's supposed to be out next month!

Ah, excellent! My first crap paycheck shall be put to good use.

Lucy_Tockley · 09-12-2007, 22:41

Hooray, Moist! I can't wait. I loved his character, and even hough he's described as having no distinguishing characteristics, he's one of the few Pratchett Characters (along with Vetinari and Leonard de Quirm) who I've had a strong mental image of.

Just proves that pre-ordering is a crap idea. I'm gonna have to wait til the 24th to get my copy when I could have had it early.

They are selling it for half price at waterstones and the have some fake money in it.

Also: I just randomly heard that my boss is late becuase he is stuck on a train with Terry Pratchett. (I don't think Terry Pratchett is the cuase of the lateness) Weird.
