@Natasha_Jay @MrBerard This is fantastic on so many levels!

@AnguaDelphine @Natasha_Jay brilliant isn't it. I have a faint memory though of an example from a long long time ago. Probably in Europe. I'll have a search. Definitely Leonard. Although he'd almost certainly have doodled a design for a space laser or something in the margin.
@capnthommo@c.im
Hmmm, I must have missed that, sadly.
Oh without doubt, L wise.
I have to admit my mind works a lot like that, dyspraxic.

Can I read it in bed, though?

@Natasha_Jay@tech.lgbt@AnguaDelphine @Natasha_Jay if you search 'book wheel' on your favourite engine there'll be several links including Wikipedia. They're not quite the same - just a way of having several books open at once but the mechanics must be broadly similar. I do love the idea of having the entire #pratchett canon in one place.

Found it - interesting, will study later; thanks.
Essentially Rolodex writ large.
I know, convenience wise.
My set is all Hardbacks, mix of book club and first pubs if not editions; great for reading in bed but take up a lot of space.
Mind you it would still work as I tend to reread by series rather than pub order; so easier to flip through and reference.
Watch & Witches mostly.
Would be wonderful to have the reference books in it too, although the maps would be a problem. -
