I see not only that there's a new Terry Pratchett book 1 out, but that Amazon have changed their URLs, so they now have the author and title at the beginning of them... this is GOOD for them, for getting a page listed higher in some search engines etc, but it's BAD for me as now I have to rewrite my code that slips my affilliate link into such things.

On the subject of such things, I'm off to check Terry Pratchett on ebay, I have a load of his books in hardback, some first editions, and some signed copies and stuff. I get the feeling that unsigned copies of his books are rarer than signed copies though. Also while I'm posting about books, that reminds me I need to sort out another affilliate deal - I found someone selling something that I want, for a lot of money, and if I want it, then you might want it too. OR,if I post about it often enough here, someone might stumble this way who wanted it anyway. Either way I might be able to earn a commission.

More job news as it comes in (got a second interview, my little holiday could be coming to an end), and my write up of Paris coming very soon too.

UPDATE: And we're done on the link, it's to abebooks.co.uk - find more than 80 million out-of-print books worldwide 2... I have been after a copy of Faust illustrated by Harry Clarke for a while, and they have some first editions on there 2 - at nearly three grand though. Don't buy one of those, I think I can only get commission on books valued under 500...

I see lots of signed first edition Terry Pratchett books, at asking prices over a hundred quid, a few of those I have too. Not actually getting excited about this though, as I don't see any bids on any of them. Off to check ABE Books for more of the same 2...
