Don’t sell it until you get your hardback version, because I’m not entirely certain there is a hardback version. I got my copy when it first came out, and mine’s paperback.

I have a library bound version (small paperback with plastic after-market “hard” covers. I’m thinking that’ll be the best I can afford–having 8 kids makes your budget for such projects somewhat limited. :slight_smile:

If I could find a “real” hard cover for $50 I’d probably grab it, but maybe not. Irrelevant since the cheapest one I can find is over $200 US.

I’ll sell the 1st ed. paperback (the graphic-novel-sized one), especially if I can get Pterry to sign it, which would then help finance the rest of the collection. :slight_smile:

If I may complicate things: I’d encourage you to consider British editions. I’ve noticed that in some of the books some lines are printed in fonts that actually suit the story (for example, in “Feet of Clay” the golems speak in letters reminiscent of Hebrew text), while in the American version this gets flattened out into standard fonts.

[picknit]In “Feet of Clay” the golems don’t speak, except for one of them at the end of the boot. They write on slates to communicate - in, as you say, a very Hebrew-looking typeface[/pn]

You’ve got to get Where’s My Cow! It’s the best – but you have to have read Thud! first. I read it to my kids (all teenagers) and they can shout all the Buggrit! parts. :cool:

If you really want to be a completist, Andrew Butler has written some books on him. I only have an early version of the Pocket Essentials book, but here is the Amazon page from my search:
