With nearly 40 Discworld books, another dozen novels, and a growing canon of related material, it's no surprise that master humorist Pratchett is attracting attention from reference writers. . . . Covering work prior to 2007's <i>Making Money, An Unofficial Companion to the Novels of Terry Pratchett</i> is a start toward a comprehensive Pratchett encyclopedia. Opening with alphabetic and topical lists of entries, the book contains a brief biography of Pratchett; more than 300 entries for books and stories-their themes, characters, and places-as well as spin-off products, collaborators, influences, and adaptations; a select bibliography; and an index.
Booklist
Though more scholarly than <i>The Discworld Companion</i>, the <i>Unofficial Companion</i> is easy reading and crammed with interesting nuggets. Not just for completists but for anyone who's tempted to ponder what makes Terry Pratchett tick.
SFX Magazine
Large (over 450 pages), sweeping in scope (Lu-Tze would be proud) and reasonably priced (trust me on this), <i>An Unofficial Guide to the Novels of Terry Pratchett</i> belongs on the bookshelf of any true Pratchett aficionado.
