I have never seen a printed Discworld book that would fit in a pocket. Have you?

EDIT: I stand corrected, turns out they DID have pocket sized editions in France: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48247127#48248586

In france, there was an edition of the discworld series literally called "pocket", and yes it sometimes fit in pockets (which had to be on the bigger end of pockets though), especially if you bended the book a little. Looked like this: https://www.babelio.com/livres/Pratchett-Les-annales-du-Disq...

The first books of the discworld were thin too.

Thanks, I didn't know that! Definitely smaller than the paperbacks we had in the UK, and pocket-sized.

Not to say that the article doesn't have plenty of other flaws, but - yes, my original paperbacks certainly did.
Yes. The original small ones would fit in my jacket pockets or the back pocket of my jeans.
