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.
- ↑ 2.0 2.1 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.
