I remember that the Octavo has been removed once from the cellars by Rincewind, but I cannot remember where it was written. Does someone know which book it was in? If so, please add it to the article. --Jogibaer 22:50, 9 Sep 2005 (CEST)
- The Light Fantastic? That's where the Octavo played an important role.
- It wasn't removed by Rincewind, it was removed by the Archchancellor. He took it to the top of the Tower of Arts where he died. After that it was eaten by the Luggage. --Death 00:00, 17 Oct 2005 (CEST)
- I am sure the Luggage spat it out a few days later, but it's mentioned somewhere else and I haven't been able to find it lately, sorry about this. -- Vsl
- In Eric (p. 93) it is mentioned how Rincewind is familiar with the Octavo and the eight spells which are used in creating the world. Additionally, it says how Rinecwind knows that the Octavo still exists, shut in a welded box under the library of the Unseen University. Given that Eric succeeds The Light Fantastic, this would be in line with the Luggage spitting the Octavo out, whereupon it is returned for safekeeping in the library. However, I would be very grateful if someone could explain the line of events in more detail. Currently, it is a bit fuzzy for me. --Cohen the Librarian 13:17, 22 July 2021 (CEST)

Re: pineapple jelly. To get at life's fruit-basket, you always have to get through the pineapple. Well known fact. --Old Dickens 15:38, 4 June 2007 (CEST)
