I didn't approve of the recent Guards Guards.
Carrot isn't from Llamedos.

Well no. What with him being a dwarf and all.

There *are * dwarfs from Llamedos, it's just that carrot happens to be from Copperhead.

Don't flame me if I get this wrong, but...
Copperhead is proper mining country where people dig and sing songs about gold.
Llamedos is all harps and songs about flowers?

Scribbler - Pratchett always said unsigned copies were more valuable as rarer than signed did you meet him?
Guards Guards - a million to one shot but might just work
I like Good Omen's but couldn't get away with his other collaborations

The Scribbler
I did met him on one of his signing tours. He had the most sparkly, electric eyes I have ever seen. You could practically see the thoughts fizzing through them.
I took the afternoon off work to queue up and felt guilty because he had a bowl of ice on his desk to ease the tension in his hand from all the signings. But he seemed happy with the chocolate covered coffee beans I gave him.

This might surprise you, but I have never read any Pratchett. I got put off him by the relentless recommendations of someone whose opinion I didn't trust.

Anyone else instantly think of Arnie Vinick in season seven of The West Wing?
