Snuff's 2011 Discworld book Snuff became the third-best-selling hardback adult-readership book in the United Kingdom since records were first published, selling 55,000 copies in the first three days.

Personal life
Pratchett married Lyn Purves at the Congregational Church in Gerrards Cross on October 5, 1968. In 1970, the family moved to Rowberrow, Somerset. Rhianna Pratchett, a writer, was born there in 1976. The family moved to Broad Chalke, a village west of Salisbury, Wiltshire, in 1993.
Pratchett was patron of the Friends of High Wycombe Library. He gave a talk at Beaconsfield Library, which he had visited as a child, and donated the funds from the event to it in 2013. He also visited his former high school to talk to the students.
Pratchett wore oversized, black hats more often than city gent," according to a description that was described as "more like a urban cowboy than a city gent." Concern about civilisation's future compelled him to install five kilowatts of photovoltaic cells (for solar energy) at his house.
