Book Description

A follow-up to the highly successful DISCWORLD UNSEEN UNIVERSITY QUIZBOOK, THE WYRDEST LINK will present itself as qualifying tests for various levels of mastery in Ankh-Morpork City's Guilds and other organisations - from the dignified Thieves' Guild to illicit outfits like the feared Breccia (the trolls' Mafia) or the wholly reprehensive Elucidated Brethren of the Ebon Night (see GUARDS! GUARDS!). As before, the straight Discworld general knowledge inquisition - presented with offbeat twists and linking themes - will be varied with trick questions, outrageous bogglers, and the occasional near-impossible poser to suit all levels of Discworld fans.

A fun curiosity.......2007-03-21

If you're a die-hard Diskworld Pratchett fan and can't wait for his next novel to come out this is the book for you. It's packed with a ton of little known esocteric minutuia to satisfy those of you with a PhD from UU as well as enough better known trivia to make the rest of us feel better about not getting the hard questions right. One of the reasons this book is so difficult is that it was written for the British portion of Pratchett fandom. Our English cousins have a much richer selection of Pratchett material then do we poor Colonists. But even this is fun. It's reassuring to know that there is always something new for the American who is ready to dig a little bit to find. Buy this book now!

The Wyrdest Link--Test Your Pratchett Knowledge.......2007-03-18

Those of you who are fans of Terry Pratchett will appreciate this trivia book. If you thought you knew something about the plots and puns of Discworld, and those of the Roundworld, as well, try your hand at these stumpers. It's a small book, divided into sections, with ten trivia questions persection. Answers are at the back of the book, but there's a hook--BONUS questions included in the answers!

I have read everything of Pratchett's I can get my hands on--several times. Thought I knew a lot about the Discworld and the inhabitants. NAH! Just a beginner.

It's a lot of fun, a lot of completely useless knowledge, and you can read it in public, if you put a plain brown wrapper on the cover.
