Discworlds Without End Posted at 8:15 PM by Dave Post

Sir Terry PratchettThis weekend was all about Terry Pratchett and his enormous Discworld saga.  Is there a longer SF/F series out there?  Xanth was close at 32 books but Discworld is the current champ weighing in at 37 books!

Eight nominated novels were already in our data base including Hogfather (1997 BFS nom), Night Watch (2003 Locus nom), Going Postal (2005 Locus and Nebula nominated) and Making Money (2008 Locus Fantasy winner and Nebula nominee).  The other 29 have been added starting with the first of the series 1983’s The Color of Magic and ending with the lastest installment, Unseen Academicals, out this year.  If you’re a Discworld fan you’ve got a lot of new books to tag as read.

You may have noticed that most of the covers for these are reprints from HarperTorch.  I loves me a cover art series and these are fun and definitely colorful. This is a series that’s been printed in many editions and translations over the years so I was happy to find the anniversary set from HT.  If you’re a fan of cover art AND Discworld, you’re in luck.  The Discworld Cover Wiki has an amazing collection of covers for all the books.  Go ahead and check it out.  It’s mind-boggling.  Just make sure to come back, OK?
