Books by Other Authors
This is the list of books written by authors other than Terry Pratchett which have been given major coverage by the podcasts listed in this wiki. For a list of Pratchett's works, see the lists of Discworld and non-Discworld books. (Co-authored books by Pratchett will appear in those lists, not here.)
Books about Terry Pratchett or Discworld
These are nonfiction works about Terry or his work, usually the Discworld. We’ve listed them here in anticipation of them appearing on some of the Pratchett podcasts, though so far aside from the biographies they’ve only been mentioned in passing.

Footnotes
- ↑ The academic titles are often very long, with subtitles explaining exactly what they're about. We've abbreviated those in this table, but the full titles will appear in their articles.
- ↑ Books that are likely to appear multiple times may have a template set up using this abbreviation to make linking to them easier. Type the acronym in braces, e.g. {{RM}} will produce Reaper Man. These shortcuts may 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 shortcuts for Pratchett's works and for podcasts are given precedence over books by other authors where they might conflict.
- ↑ Originally published as Midnight Riot in the US.
- ↑ This is the book's numbering in the modern Scholastic series of Fighting Fantasy books, which has no relation to the numbering of the originals.
