- plus: a new episodic discworld story by terry is included in the book,
The Science of Discworld [see 7a.17; this story is illustrative of some
of the main points discussed by ian stewart & jack cohen, but it is, in
my opinion, capable of being read by itself [ppint.]. its chapters are
entitled, but there is no title given for the story as a whole].
his short stories appear in several anthologies, some being their original
publications, as noted below : for a full listing of their contents, e-mail
me [i-m-t@i-m-t.demon.co.uk] and i'll give all the information i have for a
