Nah, you're too close to him, too much of a chance of his wife finding out - he should send it to (almost) the other side of the world by sending it to me

Re: Making Money - the next discworld

I like the detail on the cover. Pawprint instead of thumbprint on the money, death in the background...

Re: Making Money - the next discworld

Finally got amazon sorted out.

I had it on pre-order but it didn't show up when released.

Blamed on a problem with their dispatch system!

It better arrive on Friday so that I can pick it up at the weekend.....
