To my knowledge, Kirby has two art books out:

Kirby, Josh - In The Garden Of Unearthly Delights
              Paper Tiger, 1991

            - The Josh Kirby Poster Book
              Corgi, 1991

The former covers all of the type of artwork he's done, together with a
lot of commentary.  The latter is  a dozen or so mostly Diskworld
covers done up in a manner suitable for removing from the book and
framing.  Very little commentary.

Actually, it sounds like the phrase that ends "...for whom the bells toll.",
but I can't for the life of me remember where the phrase comes from,
and what the beginning of it is.

In one of the discworld series (I forget which) ... death is summoned, and
arrives with a drink in hand "FROM A PARTY..." ... I wonder if this party
was the one in "Monty Python - The meaning of life", where Death turns up
and takes with him all the members of the party... When you read the scripts

My first post on this subject doesn't seem to have made it out there, so
let's try again:

East of the Sun & West of the Moon is an old Scandinavian (I think) fairy
tale.  I have a book of Fairy Tales illustrated by Kay Nielsen which
includes it, and goes by the same title. Tolkein probably used the name as
one of his many references.

There is a new series out here called "Grace and Favour", which is
a sequel to the Are You Being Served? series.  Unfortunately, the
humour contained therein is as (very, very, very) poor as the 
original series and it appears to have gone for that great big rerun
in the sky...

Actually, come to think about it, your (USA?) Are You Being Served 
Again sounds like the same series under a new name.  The entire

Give the man a break.  I admit that the vast majority of his books are a
chore at best, but he's done a lot for promoting the genre from a "kid's"
type of fairy tale story to some actual literature.  I can't stomach any
of his stuff, except The Hobbit, which was a milestone in many ways.  Let
us have a little respect for the dead.  

I liked the freaky cartoon of Lord Of The Rings.

The phrase he is looking for is "Do not ask for whom the bell tolls for
it tolls for thee" (I think).
I'm not sure who wrote it but I think it may have been John Donne.

it recently they showed a sequel of six episodes called Are You
Being Serve Again, that took place at an inn, did they make any more
besides those six?

Does this *really* matter. Their styles of writing are completely different and
 there is no real basis for comparison other that the fact they are both Brits.
 DNA has written his books revolving aroung the lives of two (FORD AND ARTHUR)
charcters and one rather snappy laptop/book (the guide). Pratchett on the other
 hand has written his books around a PLACE (the discworld) and only one charact
er can lay claim to appearing in each book (DEATH) but he is not the major char
acter in the books (MORT excepted) but really plays Cameo roles. It is only, fo
r arguments sake, every 2/3 books that the characters used are the same (Equal
Rites - Wyrd Sisters - Witches Abroad etc Weatherwax and co  and similar book s
paces for Rincewind). If we are talking about the best lines in each book thoug
h then DEATH does seem to do very well for himself...

The line
"Therefore, never send to know for whom the bell tolls. It tolls for thee"
is from John Donne's Meditation part IX or number IX. The opening line is
"No man is an island, entire of itself..."

I don't recall any reference to the harvester or reaper, though.

I don't have the text available here, unfortunately. An on-line edition of the
Oxford Dictionary of Quotations would be tremendously useful, not to mention
Brewer. Are you listening, Santa?
