Some people did know that Pratchett wrote them, but no major publisher knew.
I wonder if his daughter has any backups. What experienced writer only has their work on one hard drive? A symbolic PR stunt I quite approve of. See Hooper (C.S. Lewis) and Christopher Tolkien. OTOH it turned out Michael did a reasonable job on Jules Verne's MSS when the originals were found. |

It's about the money, not his wishes. Re-releasing them under his name will peak interest, generate sales, and bring in money to other people who are not named Terry. |

If you can point to any statements Pratchett himself made about how he wanted previously published work, as differentiated from his well-known thoughts about his unfinished work, then I would be curious to read them. |

That is not something that I would personally support. Obviously, others would. A difference in opinions on how to honor the dead. This is one reason why I have instructed my family that I do not care at all about what they do with me after I'm dead. They can bury me, cremate me, compost me, drop me off in a field of coyotes, sell me to a body parts broker - I don't care. That way they can never feel even a twinge of guilt that they are not honoring my wishes. I don't want anyone to have to choose between money (or something else) and my wishes. So I clearly state that I have no wishes. But Pratchett did state his wishes. |

It is also worth noting that the copyright page on every Pratchett book since around 1990 is ©Terry and Lyn Pratchett. |
