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...

Blurb:
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.

A TALE FOR ALL SEASONS: COMEDY, TRAGEDY, RICHES, POVERTY, MAGIC,
LOVE, HATE, REDEMPTION, DAMNATION, AND MUCH, MUCH, MORE or, other-
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-
chett's funniest and most telling Discworld stories.

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.

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, close.

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.

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.

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.

third of the book, its chapters alternating with those of the
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...

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.
0-006-, 0-022- 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 partial 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, and 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 [- see
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;
