This article is from the Terry Pratchett/Discworld Merchandise FAQ, by elfin elfin@lspace.org with numerous contributions by others.
5. Where and how do I buy other Discworld paraphernalia?
There are numerous other organisations who also produce Discworld
merchandise. I shall attempt to list them all here, but there is a high
chance that I have missed some out. If this is the case, then *please*
e-mail me with the details of those which I have missed. Anyone wishing
to produce Discworld merchandise may only do so with the permission of
Terry or his agent, Colin Smythe.
o Architecture, plates.
Isobel and Bernard Pearson (formerly of Clarecraft) run a company
called Pearson Waxworks: they now sell Discworld architecture and
plates, and intend to add to their range in the near future.
For a free brochure, just send them your postal address. Also,
they now have new premises where you can browse their products at
leisure. Their Emporium also stocks all the books and many other
Discworld products including Clarecraft and CMOT Briggs ranges.

o Discworld Beer
BursarVixen Enterprises (BVE) is the purveyor of Discworld Beers, among them
Ridcully's Revenge and Old Kingdom (a Djelibeybian brew). You can also buy
other Discworld merchandise from them such as mugs featuring Kidby images,
and t-shirts bearing Josh Kirby's cover artwork. Future plans include
producing a genuine Scumble!

merchandise for sale. Their range of products includes various

o Discworld GURPS.
There is a Discworld version of the popular GURPS, owned by Steve
Jackson Games. More information can be found at:
<http://www.sjgames.com/gurps/books/Discworld/>
o Doll's House.
I have recently heard that the latest pieces of merchandise
available are doll's houses fashioned to look like buildings from
the Discworld. They are made by a company called Dream House and
each _general_ design is approved by Terry Pratchett (but it is
the company themselves who work out the finer details). Each one
is hand made, and due to the length of time taken to produce
them, they cost UKP 799.
The Website is not yet available, but Dream House can be reached
by e-mail: Dream.House@tesco.net
o Jigsaw puzzles.
In 1995 jigsaw puzzles became available, featuring Josh Kirby
Discworld drawings. These have all gone out of print, and are
no longer being made, so any that turn up are likely to be
pretty valuable.
However, in early 2000 Gibsons produced two new Discworld jigsaws
in conjunction with Colin Smythe. These feature the full prints of
Josh Kirby's "Carpe Jugulum" and "Maskerade", and are puzzles of
1,000 pieces. These are available from good retailers such as
WHSmith. They can also be purchased online for UKP 9.75 each from
Mail Order Express:

PJSM Prints sells various prints and Hogswatch cards by Paul Kidby,
who started his Discworld involvement with _The Pratchett
Portfolio_ and has since gone on to do many other projects with
Terry and Stephen Briggs. Prints and original artwork are available
from their Website.
