Hi

Long time reader, new poster.
(I'm sure there's meant to be a [Square Bracket] at the beginning of the subject line).
[M]?

Does anybody know when the paperback of Mort was first published in the UK?
I can't see clarification on Wiki.

I've a pub argument amongst 'friends' about who start reading Discworld first.
There's a fiver & a pint on London Pride at stake.

Ta
Dave F.

lspace.org bibliography says 1988, and Amazon reckons 18th November
'88.

Can't confirm from my own collection, since some bugger wandered off
with my paperback Mort in about 1993. Still, I've got a rare unsigned
copy now.

Cheers - Jaimie

I don't think you need that here in ABP. Everything is supposed to be
on topic, so labels aren't required.

Except for [A] for annotations (or the word "annotation" in the subject
line) which is to make things easier for Leo, the APF compiler.

Tags are useful and I would advocate using them if you can, but there is
a problem.

1) User error - we all (OK some of us) - (OK me and some others) forget
to put them in Wink

...there are two problems..

1) ....
and
2) If put in as [M] at the start of a line Google in its infinite
wisdom* takes it out for reasons unknown, so you are likely to see
things like - and (i.e. a space) in front, or both or similar to try
and preserve the tag(s)

...there are three problems..
1),2)
and
3) People who in changing the subject line remove the tag for reasons of
their own, or in modifying it lose the 'anti G' - and via G it goes.

... there are four problems..
1), 2), 3),
and
4) the tendency to get taken over by Not Expecting the Spanish
Inquisition Syndrome...
and everyone was expecting that Wink

*infinite as in infinitely small - remember knowledge is not wisdom no
matter how large the dose.
