Also, yes, the proofreading is a disaster (possibly the copyediting too), though I largely only noticed when I went back to look for specific things. Things like the numeral one being substituted for a lowercase letter L, missing spaces, etc. (I meant to mention this and forgot.)

Never mind all the transposed letters (e.g., the scene with Brokensheild, 'scuse me, Brokenshield)...

I saw the 'Where's my cow' book, which has some lovely artwork and won't make sense to non-Discworld people. I liked Vimes' comments on what procedures to actually follow in the case that one should lose one's cow. Five minutes in the Borders bookstore.

Kvon, thanks, I'll probably look for it sometime soon--I love the idea of Vimes' commenting on lost-cow procedures.

I particularly enjoyed the dwarf named "Bashfulsson"

Tim: yes, particularly since his first name is "Bash." A nice contrast!

I was listening to the end of this on audiobook on the way home today, while behind a car with the vanity license plate "DIAMOND." I thought that was very fitting. =>
