If you enjoy truly well-written biographies, A Life With Footnotes offers a unique and remarkably candid look into the personal and professional journey of Discworld author Terry Pratchett—through the eyes of his right hand, longtime assistant and friend Rob Wilkins.
From childhood through his early days in journalism to his successful career as a freelance writer and the difficult period with Alzheimer's disease, the book reveals Terry's distinctive character that many readers likely never knew.
It also shows his business acumen and specific approach to working with publishers; such as when he would occasionally (and successfully) persuade them not to pay him as much for a new book as they themselves had proposed.
