the books are out there :) (Score:2)

The Borders up in Peabody, MA nearly always has the full range of Pratchett including the maps and such. You could just shop at Amazon.co.uk where they have a whole section devoted to him and have them shipped to you for a little bit more than the tax to buy them locally. The UK book covers are nicer too. He has a new one coming in May.

And the paranoid quote is not originally from Pratchett. Although the source is unknown I'd wager a guess it came from the late 60s drug culture.

  This book was written in 1981, which makes this the earliest version of the quote I know of -- is this a real live pterryism?
  
  I had a poster that said this on my wall in the mid 70s. It was a very common saying at that time.
