    Vetinari rules. He is the perfect Assassin. But I like the Witches the best. Granny Weatherwax rocks.

    /me considers trying to build a Granny Weatherwax based character.........hmmmmmm, some sort of Druid maybe......wielding a hat-pin.......

    My boyfriend is into Terry Pratchett and he has all his books (I think). For christmas, he has asked for the series of Terry Pratchett's books in 'black'. I have searched the net to no avail. Does anyone know if they are available in black and where I could go to obtain them?

    @Arabwel:
    Maybe "Flaming Cheeses" would be more appropriate.

    "The Flaming Cheese badge of the Ins and Outs" is to do with that "cheesemongers" nickname.

    I'll shut up now, as most people probably don't know WTF I'm talking about (as usual)

    Yes, yes, but Chick lit: Cheeky female fiction. And what else IS the Monstrous Reginment but just that? :p

    Who doesn't love the witches? Vimes is great, and so's the librarian. But I gotta say Vetinari is the best of all. I loved his cell in Guards, Guards! All the locks on the inside. Just great.

    He probably does mean the hardback versions. Are they expensive to buy? (thanks for your comments by the way)

    Well, there are 32 Discworld novels out, so I presume you're looking for something specific? http://www.sorcerers.net/Books/index_pratchett.php lists them all, but links are to paperback versions of the books (you can scroll down the product pages to the Hardcover links). Hardcovers are around Ł11-12.
