We took some of these sweatshirts to the Discworld Convention last month, followers were amazed at the detail and quality. We thought we`d give it a little spotlight today, so you can see it for yourself.

#NationalTeddyBearDay
Mr Wuggle, one of the more esoteric items in the museum at the Assassins` Guild. The one armed teddy bear, was used by Croydon Minimus (Scorpion House) in 1687, to inhume Baron von Wendeltreppe-Steckenpferd
The precise nature of his inhumation has kept generations of boys wondering.
Since that fateful day, the Wendeltreppe-Steckenpferds have never allowed any soft toys within twenty miles of their Castle in Überwald.

“The Brewer’s Dictionary was the first book I ever bought. No bookshelf, NO WORLD, is ever complete without it, it’s as simple as that. I first grasped the spine of my second-hand copy when I was twelve. It’s still in amazing condition considering the work I’ve made it do. There are some milestones in my career, and one I am possibly most proud of is that I was asked to write an introduction for the book’s millennium edition.” — Terry Pratchett, on the subject of Dr Brewer`s Reader`s Handbook, 1911

🕰 BE QUICK! LIMITED NUMBER AVAILABLE...
Yesterday marked a notable date in the #Discworld calendar, the Witches Trials. We thought this would be perfect time to announce that we have a handful of dual signed copies of Tiffany Achings Guide to Being a Witch.
🛒 https://discworld.com/products/new-arrivals/tiffany-achings-guide-to-being-a-witch/
The Witch Trials is an annual competition in Lancre, where any witch worthy of her name will join the gathering to meet, exchange gossip, re-establish who`s who in the pecking order (hopefully bloodlessly), and be deferential to Granny Weatherwax.
For as long as anyone can remember, Esme Weatherwax has won hands-down, and the only academic (or betting) interest lies in who is likely to come second.

On this day in 2003 Terry received a Prometheus Award for Night Watch. An award for libertarian science fiction given annually by the Libertarian Futurist Society.
He offered the following remarks on accepting the Award:
"Night Watch was funny, I hope, even if the humour had a dark edge. And it was serious. I didn`t set out to make it so. It just happened.
. . . It lives in the quasi-Renaissance city of Ankh-Morpork, ruled very much on the one-man, one vote system; Lord Vetinari is the Man, and he has the vote. Is he a libertarian? Well, he believes firmly in all freedoms, and particularly in the freedom to take the consequences of exercising all the other freedoms. The city, in a wobbly kind of way, works.
Night Watch is a time travel book, at least in its framework. It centres on a familiar character in the series: Sam Vimes, commander of the City Watch, formerly a street copper and still an honest man (by the standards of street coppers). A magical accident . . . throws him bodily back in time thirty years, to the days when he was a raw recruit . . . He has, in fact, to change the past.
And what can he tell himself? Only that, whoever you fight for, the damn government always gets in; that when lawlessness walks the streets, the authorities will bend all their efforts to keeping honest men unarmed . . .
I like Sam Vimes. But he`d never think of himself as a libertarian—just as a copper . . . am I a libertarian? We don`t have that tradition in England. where just about every politician would classify themselves as a libertarian and each one would mean something different. But currently we have a government that lacks wisdom, perspective, or talents, is centrist, arrogant, talks incessantly about rights while it curtails freedoms, and is led by a man who is passionately devoted to appearing to be passionately devoted to things. I see fragments of Night Watch all around me. So, right now. I`m feeling very libertarian indeed."

“Men made dogs, they took wolves and gave them human things - unnecessary intelligence, names, a desire to belong, and a twitching inferiority complex.”

Happy #internationalorangutanDay! It brings to mind our favourite #orangutan, transformed by the events chronicled in The Light Fantastic (https://bit.ly/the-light-fantastic). Blissfully happy in himself, he reckoned that his prehensile toes and extra-long arms assisted him in his role.

“He was made up for a joke. Sadly, that’s how it goes. I needed to turn a librarian into something funny, and an orangutan was good enough (having met real male orangutans in the wild, I now know that laughing or exposing your teeth in any way is not a sensible thing to do).” – #TerryPratchett, The Art of #Discworld (https://bit.ly/TheArtofDiscworld)

The Discworld Companion was published on this day, 30 years ago. The most comprehensive guide from Tiffany Aching to Jack Zweiblumen, to all things Discworld. The Ultimate version comes fully illustrated by Paul Kidby.
The Discworld, as everyone knows, is a flat world balanced on the back of four elephants which, in turn, stand on the shell of the giant star turtle, the Great A`Tuin, as it slowly swims through space. It is also the global publishing phenomenon with sales of over 70 million books worldwide (but who`s counting?). There`s an awful lot of Discworld to keep track of. But fear not! Help is at hand. Everything (and we mean everything) you could possibly want to know has been crammed into one place.
If you need a handy guide to locales from Ankh-Morpork to Zemphis . . .
If you can`t tell your Achmed the Mads from your Jack Zweiblumens . . .
If your life depends on distinguishing between the Agatean Empire and the Zoons . . .
