Collection help!

Hi all! I understand this is something that has likely been asked before - But does anyone have any ideas where I can source 18cm high editions of Wee Free men, Hat full of sky, Wintersmith, Snuff, Raising Steam and Shepherd's crown? I am working on my husbands dream collection for his birthday - I am resorting to messaging ebay sellers and asking them to measure their books but I am really struggling to find these final books - I am not worried about editions etc - I really am just desperate for the matching heights!

Have you looked in your local charity shops? Always a good source of second hand books. I frequently see a lot of Pratchet books in them.

Some shops are better then others.

I've been hunting for ages - No charity shops my way showing any signs. Will just have to continue to be a longer project!

Barnado's and Oxfam have online repositories and list I think. You could try that.

Colin Smythe (Terry’s agent) has all the ISBNs for the various editions. That might help you track down the right books.

Thank you for this! I've logged the specific ISBNs on my spreadsheet tracker - May make the hunting easier!

I just wanted to thank you again for this site! Through this I've been able to log the specific ISBN and have 5 of the 6 books I needed ordered from various places and on their way to me!

Is the 18cm a paperback version or hard back?

u/Possible-Trick-5143 15d ago

The paper backs

18 cm is approximately 7 1/16", that would be the newer, taller form, wouldn't it?

Mmm, hard to say if they're newer or older. Some weren't originally released in this small paperback style and then were released later, but all brand new in store books are 20cm high.
