Footnotes

  1. 1.0 1.1 1.2 A template using this abbreviation has been set up to make linking to this book easier. Type the acronym in braces, e.g. {{RM}} will produce Reaper Man. The shortcuts can also link to external articles by supplying a further parameter; for example {{RM|ls}} produces a link to the L-Space wiki article, like this: Reaper Man. (See Template:BookShortcut for more info.) Note that book shortcuts are given precedence to make sure they match the ones used on the L-Space wiki; see the list of Pratchett podcasts for how this affects podcast shortcuts.
  2. These are the traditional fan categorisations, which we prefer for this site. Sub-series appearing in this column in parentheses are debatable.
  3. The new 2022-2023 editions split the books into non-overlapping series that don't quite line up with the ones used by fans. (See the 50 Years of Terry page for details.)
