Pratchett's books (or rather some of them) were in Waterstones.com and whsmith.co.uk.
They seem to have gone! Waterstones.com have been missing all day - whsmith.co.uk were there when I started researching this issue this morning, then disappeared. I have two browsers on two computers - one has three pages in respsonse to a search for Pratchett - the other is empty.
Completeness is an issue in the UK. A number of Ian Rankins's Rebus novels were missing - odd volumes, like #6. I queried with the publisher, and was told that they had a system date of 31/12/2011 - which apparently was a standard "not sure" date. Last week the missing volumes suddenly appeared.
The discworld novels seemed to have the same problem. Hopefully their removal is temporary, and they'll come back with fewer gaps!
Odd.
