I'm probably being dim, but how do I copy/save the images so I can print them out?

Take a screenshot (eg. with Snipping Tool)

Yeah, I'll give it a go, but I suspect it won't get a great resolution to blow it up to, say, A3.

Nah, probably not, but the pages are coded so you can't download the images (only teeny)

the pratchett one on page 2 is annoying me on a geeky level as it is showing the series but is not a specific book, and I've no idea how to go through the entire series ever (and supporting books) to work out what they were thinking

Pratchett book has multiple answers

Pratchett book is mort. 🙂

That's good to know, but not obvious to me why that one book over all of the others (lord of the rings for example didn't need to state a specific book)

Pratchett book has multiple answers

This could take a while to get through them all. Difficult without clues, or are they there and i'm just not thinking in the right way?

Does Mort actually work as an answer for other people? It doesn't for me.
How many Pratchett titles have others found? Colour of magic is the only one I have got.

Lord of the rings was originally written as 1 book then split by the publisher, and is not the only Tolkien book from that series in the puzzle.

Some of the clues seem really obvious but just can't get the answer.

e.g. page 1. Theres a picture of Stitch but the answer isn't lilo and stitch. Similar issues with the little mermaid and Dora the explorer.

Mort/Discworld worked for me.
Up to 85 now but, like wardee, struggling with some (probably) obvious ones..

okay there appears to be a slight bug in the script relating to the pratchett book.

It accepts multiple answers for disc world novels, -displays the solution as Mort / Discworld - but if you then try to enter Mort / Colour of magic / Discworld again it behaves as if you have entered an incorrect answer.

Mort didn't work, but I got Soul Music to work for me even though it came up as Mort/Discworld in the answers. no idea what is goin on there

it's an odd one this year, especially with some of the titles pretty much written in words in the picture

gave up somewhere around 38/99,  wondering why some titles it'd accept a generally accepted title variation, and others it seemed you needed to be far more precise including words like "the"

gave up wondering whether one answer that seemed pretty obvious was the right answer but spelled incorrectly, or not the right answer.  plus I've never read a single Pratchett book, and don't know a single title, so realised that there probably are several in there, so won't get anywhere near a score like I managed in the previous challenges.

curious about the greyness of the 3rd part. I either know the answer but it deems my typing/spelling not close enough, or it's something totally different.

the movie/band ones were much better

Yeah the dora, lilo and stitch ones i don't get. Maybe they have a specific book name?

Sitting about 20 answers in each quiz and now struggling. Got 99 in the last one as well!

The face in the cave is also a famous 70s horror film

On the bestsellers, any hints for:

The gingerbread man
The totem pole
The cipher/code cylinder thing (EDIT: FFS... they've spelt it wrong)

And on the classics:

The ball with the face
The greek/roman/spartan guy

gingerbread man is a tricky one to clue without making it obvious.
what's on top of the totem
ball with the face was from a film based on what?
greek roman guy is like a big dumb yellow guy

the cipher code thing is ______ code.

I'm not sure what the ball is for but the face is Friday's friend in the book.

Up to 84.

Quire a few on the childrens books one (the pictures and bagpuss I can't get answers for).
Ginerbread man and Slaughter House Five are two obvious seeming ones that I can't get it to accept the obvious answers for!

Good fun though.
