If anyone can confirm, let's get them listed in the wiki.

NoCoolUserName: Changed Seemstress to Seamstress

In {{TT}}, [[Gaspode]] wants to help William de Worde investigate the conspiracy behind the committee to un-elect the Patrician. Vetinari's 16-year-old dog Wuffles was a key witness to an incriminating event. However, Gaspode understands the difficulties associated with revealing himself to be the famous Talking Dog of Ankh Morpork. That would provoke more questions than Gaspode would want to deal with.

So Gaspode hides in a multi-story livery stable. When William arrives, Gaspode identifies himself with the name "Deep Bone."

== Resonances ==
In the American Watergate scandal of the 1970s, the Washington Post investigated a criminal conspiracy run by president Richard Nixon's cronies. The Post's reporters' major source was a Nixon insider known only as "Deep Throat," who met the reporters in a multi-story parking garage to exchange information.

Gaspode's nickname resonates doubly -- the "Bone" part refers to his doggy nature. However, "Deep Throat" and "Deep Bone" would both be, shall we say, appropriate names for Seamstresses' Guild members in the Moving Pictures.

==Blurb==
Over the years, in addition to his wildly popular '''''Discworld''''', '''''Johnny Maxwell''''', and '''''Nome''''' books, Terry Pratchett has also written an assortment of short stories, articles, introductions, and ephemera. These have appeared in books, magazines, newspapers, anthologies, and program books, many of which are now hard to find.
Here in one convenient volume, with introductory notes from Mr. Pratchett, are such elusive pieces as: '''''The Hades Business''''', '''''Once and Future''''', '''''The Secret Book of the Dead''''', '''''Hollywood Chickens''''', '''''Turntables of the Night''''', '''''Final Reward''''', '''''Twenty Pence with Envelope and Seasonal Greeting''''', and more.

==Cover==
The cover illustration and design by Omar and Sheila Rayyan, featuring a crone-type witch, and something of a flying chariot of sorts made of items including a lightbulb, a music casette tape, and a pencil, a chicken riding in it. The actual illustration is better than can be described in these words.

==Author's Photograph==
