''Once More * With Footnotes'' is a book by Terry Pratchett, published by NESFA Press in 2004 when he was the Guest of Honor for Noreascon Four, the 62nd World Science Fiction Convention. It contains a mixture of short stories, articles, introductions to other books, and speeches, including his first published short story, "The Hades Business". The initial run is a limited edition hardback, consisting of 2,500 copies. It had two additional printings in hardback and is currently out of print. The book has a notable discrepancy: the front cover gives the title with two asterisks (the result of the cover design.) The title page has no asterisks, the press release〔http://lists.nesfa.org/pipermail/press-announce/2004/000003.html〕 and the Publisher's product page have one asterisk. The title is a reference to the phrase "once more, with feeling" and to Pratchett's frequent use of footnotes in his Discworld series, along with the brief author commentary at the start of each piece; the book itself actually contains very few footnotes. One of NESFA's working titles for the book was "Oh Bugger, by Wossname". All works contained within 'Once More * With Footnotes' were later published in two anthologies, ''A Blink of the Screen'' (2012), a collection of short fiction, and ''A Slip of the Keyboard'' (2014), a collection of non-fiction. ==Contents== * Terry Pratchett: The Man, The Myth, The Legend, The Beverage (Introduction by Esther Friesner) * Apology (Introduction by Terry Pratchett) * "Hollywood Chickens" (story) * Doctor Who?
