1. Which book did Samuel Vines read every evening at 6:00 to his son Sammy, throughout the book "Thud"?

Answer: Where's My Cow?

A stand alone version of "Where's my Cow?" was released after "Thud", and in it Sam Vines changes it from various animals to various inhabitants of Ankh-Morpork.

2. In "Making Money", Gladys has become an avid reader of which magazine?

Answer: The Ladies' Own Magazine

Gladys, a half-tonne Golem, follows any advice given by women's magazines and books to the letter. The Ladies' Own Magazine is a genteel and mannered publication which, among other things, advocates back and neck rubs to relieve stress and tension caused by the hurly-burly of modern life.

When Gladys tries this out on Moist Von Lipwig, he discovers it works because the pain created takes his mind off everything else.

3. Eric Wheelbrace was an author of the book "100 Walks in the Ramtops" and what other book?

Answer: Walking in the Koom Valley

Eric Wheelbrace is based on Alfred Wainwright, who wrote a book entitled "A Pictorial Guide to the Lakeland Fells".

4. Lady Deirdre Waggon wrote the book "Lady Waggon's Book of Household Management". What piece of advice did she have about watchmen?

Answer: Watchmen are disrepectful and do not wipe their dirty boots.

She also gave this advice: "Any bodies found during a weekend party should be disposed of discreetly to avoid scandal." Only Nobby Nobbs needs to carry a declaration "signed by Lord Vetinari to the effect that, "following affadavits from the midwife and a doctor, I confirm that the bearer is, in all probability, human."

5. Twoflower wrote a book entitled, "What I Did on My Holidays". Who was the Wizard that accompanied him throughout the holiday?

6. Carrot Ironfoundersson is given what book by Mr. Varneshi in "Guards! Guards!"?

Answer: The Laws and Ordinances of the Cities Ankh and Morpork.

Stanley Howler had a strange upbringing as he was raised by peas, which has left him a bit of a loner, an obsessive, and with a tendency to lean towards the sunlight. It is rumoured that he was the inspiration for John Lennon's song about giving peas a chance. Other pin magazines mentioned in "Going Postal" include Pins Monthly, New Pins, Practical Pins and Pins International, as well as pin magazines that cannot be mentioned in mixed company.
