I see not only that there's a new Terry Pratchett book 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... I have been after a copy of Faust illustrated by Harry Clarke for a while, and they have some first editions on there - 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...

Ebay Schmebay

Tonnes of Terry Pratchett books on EBay, but not much call (or as much value) for Raymond E Feist, what's that all about? Have just been chatting with a chum about ebaying, I've never sold anything before, but I have TONNES of crap I ought to get rid of... Loads of 2000ADs which seem to do ok on ebay, though individually they're hardly worth flogging - 38 quid for prog one so far, I think I'd rather keep it. Maybe I will start up soon, free up some space in Mum and Dad's loft.

Speaking of which HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!

Hmm, same did who's selling issue one is selling the space spinner free gift separately, for a lot more!

The Luggage, but for real

The Luggage, from Terry Pratchett's Colour of Magic and other Discworld Novels, and it can be yours, all the money goes to charity.

A unique opportunity to own a one-off replica of the luggage as featured in Sky One's adaptation of Terry Pratchett's The Colour of Magic. This quirky 'suitcase' is filled with the full library of Discworld novels, plus the production designs used to build the luggage as seen in the film. Both the books and the designs have been signed by Terry Pratchett.
Also included in this money can’t buy piece of memorabilia is a copy of the Discworld 25th anniversary edition of The Colour of Magic which hits book store shelves on the 10th March. This brand spanking new reissue not only features the stars of Sky One’s magical adaptation, Sir David Jason and Sean Astin, on the front cover, but the two actors have also signed the novel.
