The "mysterious" 8-pages mystery solved...
Only 8 pages? That just simply can't be true,
and here's why (Posted by Articles)
Read the amusing articles that DNA wrote and which
appear on this website. Immediately, you can see he
used absolutely tons of computers, laptops, etc to
write on. In one he actually refers to
"loads of floppy discs full of incomplete chapters"
or words to that effect.
Basically what I'm saying is this: his publishers just
scanned one computer and turned up the famous 8 pages.
But maybe they're not looking hard enough?
Most likely, they don't wish to trouble his family
in such times.
If the 8 page legend is true - then what the hell.
He left us with utter brilliance anyway. One Adams page
is worth about ten Pratchett books put together.

Hear hear!!
You must excuse me, Earth Person, but I have been
asleep lo these many years and know not of this
"Prachet" that you speak of. But, in our own
time, we had "writers" who could churn out so
many novels that they often vied with each other
for the "top ten" best sellers list (published
each week by the New Ursa Minor Beta Times).
So, much the better to seek quality than quantity.
Just like Fjord's.....
