Notes
All data relates to the first UK edition.

One of the splendid miscellany of books about Discworld with no specific novel value, but with background details in that no fan would dream of not knowing, such as the traditions of the Assassins' Guild, full lists of teaching staff, high days and holidays, and famous dates and alumni of the Guild.

Most of these details have since been incorporated into the greatly expanded Assassins' Guild entry in The New Discworld Companion, as has happened with other yearbooks and diaries, but there is at least one surprising omission of detail which did not cross to The New Discworld Companion: the back-story of Madame Deux-Epées which appears in this diary was left out. Which leads the reader to wonder if other things were missed too.
