JinsheiWhat do you do about duplicates??
SANEAlexWith duplicate #Discworld books I find my inner Constable Visit-The-Infidel-With-Explanatory-Pamphlets and pass them on*1 to fellow fans with incomplete collections & or tempt new people into the wonders of #GNUTerryPratchett's worlds when I did a lot of travelling I kept hardbacks at home & used pocketable paperbacks when out & about.
*1 except the 1st two COM&LF which I keep for sentimental reasons*2
*2 both just as battered foxed & even badgered as my #GNUDouglasAdams HHGTTG
@SANEAlex perhaps we can work out a #discworld trade!
@Jinshei Well if you are missing any of
#Discworld PB's
The Science of Discworld
Eric
The last Continent
Hogfather
Maskerade
Interesting Times
Sourcery
Sort of pre Discworld > Strata
Darkside of the sun, I don't have a hardback of this but would be nice to have for my ageing eyes if you have a spare of this though do have two PB copies.
& a US HB version of Jingo
@Jinshei
I have a version of most of the major works but am short on short works if you have any duplicates of
The Witch's Vacuum Cleaner *
Shaking Hands With Death
Father Christmas's Fake Beard *
The Time-Travelling Caveman *
& 👀list of some of the companion #Discworld 📚am missing out on
The MMXIV Convention Book aka The Green Folio
Mrs Bradshaw's Guide to the Railways
The Arte of Falconry and Hawking
Elves Nasty Or Nice
The Nac Mac Feegles' Big Wee Alphabet Book
Mr Bunnsy has an adventure
@SANEAlex sadly not! I have duplicates of a couple of the diaries
@Jinshei I had forgotten about the diarys I may be missing some of the later ones & just found that I am not missing
Mrs Bradshaw's Guide to the Railways
Were any of the spares I listed of interest or have you got them all?
@SANEAlex Eric, last continent, masquerade would be brilliant. I can trade any of these
@Jinshei
I am still recovering after just finishing @terrypratchett excellent biography but am missing the Marc Burrows one so I'll be happy to send you the 3 you want for that, but should we wait until after Xmas and the postal strikes❓ as despite my #RoundWorld server room at the time of #GoingPostal being a real listed buildings pigeon loft I doubt I could train any of the garden 1's to deliver even the lightest book😜

@SANEAlex @terrypratchett hehe that sounds great!! Shall I DM you my address and we can swap?
@SANEAlex @terrypratchett I will say that the bit in Rob's talk where he asked which bit to read out and they made him read the end was both cruel and heartbroking
@Jinshei @terrypratchett I did wonder about reading the bio myself, I have never seen the Movie Titanic as knew the spoiler that the iceberg wins in the end but the earlier parts did bring back a lot of good memories of some #Discworld occurrences that I was witness to & I also found out new things as well. It was well worth the read #GNUTerryPratchett a hard man to thank but like Rob I did on a couple of occasions for many good memories & experiences

@SANEAlex @terrypratchett there were so many warm fuzzy feelings but nobody should be made to read their friend's death day out loud to an audience.
@Jinshei @terrypratchett Not something I'd wish on him
@SANEAlex @terrypratchett no, a lot of the audience said noooo but he was terribly brave and many cried. I did.
