I am very happy to announce a major update to the L-Space Web's
section devoted to the original 1971 edition of _The Carpet
People_:
<http://www.lspace.org/art/carpet-people/>
We now have scans of *all* the illustrations Terry Pratchett did
for that book (instead of just a handful), and what's more: they
are in full-colour (instead of black and white), taken from
copies of the book that had their illustrations watercoloured by
Terry himself.
There are now also photographs of the book's launch party at
Heal's Department Store in London. If you were ever curious to
see what Terry looked like when he was 23, well, here's your
chance...

He looks like he must have been born middle-aged :)

My husband's Dad is like that. In family photos with the kids, aged
somewhere in his thirties, he looks much like he does now aged somewhere in
his eighties. He just settled on a late fifties look early on and stuck with
it.

I've got a mate who I went to tertiary college with (age, what, 17, 18ish?).
I ended up working with him when we were both 23. He'd lost his hair in the
style of a 40-something manger type and wasn't wearing those few years too
well. I didn't recognise him at all. I figured he was at least 15 years
older than me so had no shared history. turned out he knew more about me
than was comfortable, of course, given that he knew me but I didn't know
him...
So these days I try not to make judgements on apparent age.

I hope that that's what I have done then. :-/
I still think it's unfair that someone who's sixty looks younger than me:

And I promise - I swear, Scout's honour[1], on my gran - that I will
sort out the rest of the captions soon. I would've done it this month
but there was a bit of a bereavement issue to contend with so it kind
of slipped in priority. But the book is on the table, right in front
of me I'm looking at it now, honest guv.
<looks past monitor>
Okay, it's been tidied away, but that's this house for you. I know
it's in the cupboard to my left.
[1]I was never in the Scouts so this means nothing, but I'm a
trustworthy man. Hey, I *finished* that damn Maskerade script, didn't
I[2]?
[2]No, actually, I did so ner.
