  • Ascended Fanon: The subtitle of the fourth book was chosen on the spur of the moment at the 2012 Discworld Convention, when someone in the audience called it out. Prior to that, Amazon was calling in The Science of Discworld IV: The Magic of Roundworld.
  • No Export for You: Not sold at most American bookstores, no matter how many other Discworld books they sell. It is exported to other countries like Canada, though..
    • Finally averted - the first Science book was released in the United States in June 2014, with the others to follow at six-month intervals.
  • What Could Have Been: The programme for the 2006 Discworld Convention reveals the synopsis of a completely different Science of Discworld III, in which the wizards visit assorted fictional Marses, culminating in the Discworld-universe's own version of Barsoom: a flat square planet, on the back of four thoats on the back of a giant zitidar, while Ankh-Morpork was invaded by the Martian tripods.
