Discworld: "Martina, who has a passion for bookbinding and DIY, decided to take on this mammoth project as her very first mechanical build. Her idea was both whimsical and practical in the most Nerdforge way: she would bind all 40 Discworld books and arrange them around a massive wooden wheel."

Definitely inspired by Leonard of Quirm.

Mind you, a room sized one inspired by BS Johnson would have its' charms too.

Excluding the unfinished Shepherd's Crown though?

@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.

@Natasha_Jay Love me some Martina and Hansi content here

Their bookbinding videos are amazing

@Natasha_Jay If I could take one book with me to a desert island, that would be it.

[hi_greens@mastodon.scot]

@Natasha_Jay Impressive!

@Natasha_Jay A Rolodex of Discworld is S-tier nerdery.

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

@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.

@Natasha_Jay brilliant!

@Natasha_Jay

Can I read it in bed, though?

[capnthommo@c.im]

@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.
