Libre Paginarum Fulvarum is a kind of shared gag.  It's in the dedication of
Equal Rites, too.  Although I think we've got the shade of yellow wrong -- I
think there's another Latin word for a kind of yellow which is closer to the
Yellow Pages colour.

I just re-read Good Omens and noticed that the Paginarum Fulvarum (sp?) as 
mentioned in the list of Ancient Grimoires is the same book as appeared
in issue one of Neil Gaiman's Sandman comics where it was used to summon
Death.  The yellow pages pun was completely ignored by the colourist who
made it brown.

Now ain't that interesting?

Leo, thanks for putting together the amusing APF. I thoroughly enjoy it, and it
even makes me read them good ole books again to make sure I haven't missed
anything. GREAT!!
Apropos the phrase "Necrotelecomnicon". I think I ought to mention this is a pun
on both British Telecom(the English phone company) and H.P.Lovecraft's Cthulhu 
Mythos, whose "Bible" was called the Necronomicon. I can't recall excactly the 
nature of this book's contents, but I'll try mailing some more info if you're

      In the first few pages, Granny is explaining about gods, and describes
      Hoki, who sounds like Pan.  Any ideas on where the name Hoki comes
      from?

   One of our local supermarkets introduced a new line last year: `Hoki -
   the fish of the future, from the cold, deep waters of New Zealand.'
   Naturally I was a trifle suspicious of a fish that only existed
   wrapped in breadcrumbs, so I investigated, by asking a New Zealander.
   I was told that the hoki is an enormous and ugly fish that lives in
   deep water and eats anything that falls to it.  The reason it only
   appears in fillets is that the whole fish would revolt the customers
   and wouldn't fit in the freezer.

This is true.  "The Fish of the Future" is, I imagine, the PR people
getting a touch carried away :-).  It's more like "The Fish of Last
Fortnight".  The hoki is truly an obscene fish - God was hungover and
pissed off the morning he made the hoki.  For a better meal, try our
snapper (he says, blatantly plugging the fish his father exports :-).

Back on topic, I think that Hoki is euphonous and has a klang with
"Loki" that can't be ignored.  Not to mention elderly silver-haired
ladies' inclination to exclaim "by Hoki!" :-)

I hadn't heard of the clay, but I had heard of the Pleistocine Era,
which occured just before or after the Pleiocine (sp?) Era. I get
them mixed up. The earlier one is when some folks believe our ancestors
did a lot of wading or swimming to get away from hungry beasties, hence
our noses and lack of body hair.

Organization: University of Sussex

Since  Leo  was asking for   annotation to Equal  Rites,  I've started
reading it  again. The  reason   we  couldn't find  many  annotations:
there's aren't many joke references in ER. Do  I  get the feeling that
Terry was trying to write a "serious" funny  fantasy story without all
the in jokes? There's nothing like  the number of  parodies etc. in ER
that there are in some of the later books. Anyway, the ones I've found
so far: Some of these are really obvious, so I guess they shouldn't go
in the file; one or two may be  british-specific, but I'm not sure, so
I've mentioned them to  see if those of  you  outside of the  UK think
they need expanding.

The rickety broomstick was like a "split-windscreen Morris Minor":

	I'm not going to try to describe what a split-screen Moggie is
like - this is  one of those cases  where having pictures  in the file
would  be of  infinite  value. Could  some   car  buff  post a  potted
history/description? (Or were Morris Minors universal? I bet you can't
find one in America)...

K'Sandra (servant girl at UU):

	Puns on Sandra, the sort of name that someone who was Ptraci's
best friend would have :-).  More importantly,  puns on Cassandra, who
was the greek  prophetess involved in the  fall of Troy. Her curse was
that her prophecies would never be believed. Isn't that interesting.

(there were fossils in the disk because...)  "The creator ... was just
playing around with the Pleistocine"

	Plasticine is  a sort  of modelling  clay often  used by young
children at kindergarten (Is this just a British thing? or not?)

Must stop now, will post more later...

You'd lose that bet - I know of at least one (in Peterborough, NH).
It's a late-model estate, with the obligatory light blue paint.
Just like the one I used to own back in nineteen-mumblety-mumble,
before I got a Triumph Vitesse convertible.  But I digress . . .

Many Americans will be familiar with a Morris Minor as `Miriam',
the car that Lovejoy drives in later series.

As I don't have a copy of the book, this is from memory, so perhaps some one could

Creosote, the Seriph, refers to the hairdressing heroine whose name completely eludes
me, as having 'hair like the goats descending the slopes of Mount Gilead...' 
to which she replies 'in what way, colour, texture or smell?' or something like that.

The point is:
There is actually a line similar (to the first bit obviously) in 'Song of Songs' or 'Song

By what right do you consider there to be a quality distinction between
kids books and those for adults. The differences (where they actually
exist) are only those of taste. I have not read OYCSM (and won't till there
is a paperback - tell the publishers) but when I do I will judge it for
itself not for the publishers' idea of who will buy it.
