It may be that hot it's burnt around the edges.

Do we know who is organising this? Obviously Transworld are doing some of the events.

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

I don't have any more info on it Tony.

I'm puzzled by this. Rob is saying that they're 'hugely excited about the stunning new covers', but it's impossible to see any details about the new covers on Discworld.com.

You can see the covers much better on Discworld Emporium. For instance: Equal Rites (New Edition)! Now I see what Rob means!
