I'll get his works both in paper and e-book, and that's a rarity for me.

SYNC will be giving away one of his audiobooks - Dodger - as part of their annual YA summer program.

Quote:
SYNC is a program that gives away two complete audiobook downloads — a current Young Adult title paired thematically with a Classic or Required Summer Reading title — each week to listeners ages 13+ while SYNC is in session each summer.
The program starts 07 May and will run for 14 weeks; giving away 28 audiobooks. Dodger looks to be scheduled for the second week (14 May). See this thread and this link for details.

It's actually an extremely common situation, and reflects the territories that the publisher has bought the right to sell to. This is almost certainly a case of different UK and US publishers, which is very common.

Not the videos? Found that YouTube has lots (nearly all) videos of his books. Don't know if all are animated; will be checking later. Did see the animated Wyrd Sisters long ago & enjoyed it.

Got email from YouTube on recommendations & a TP's book in video; clicked on the icon & saw a long list of Discworld videos. I was very surprised; or perhaps out of date & not "with it".

What sort of videos? Animated or live, etc? (I guess you just said you didn't know.) Watch some and report back (please). Consider yourself assigned. (please)

Someone else discovered that quite a few of the books had a PLAY version released, I believe by Pratchett himself. I wonder if that's what you have found.

Forgive my ignorance, but what is a PLAY version?
I love his books and am interested in all versions!
Thanks!

Several books have been adapted for stage performance ie a play in a theatre. The novels have been adapted by Stephen Briggs:

Thank you! I was getting thrown with the all capital letters for Play. I thought maybe it stood for something else. It seems like everything uses initials now a days!

Wyrd Sisters, Soul Music & Mort are animations; could be others. Some audio books are also listed. No idea what are "play books".

All one needs to do is enter "www.youtube.com" then at the top search bar, enter Terry Pratchett to get a thumbnailed listing; doesn't need a Gmail account........
