"- All you can say about the place is that it isn't anywhere else. What's so special about Borogravia?
- I suppose it's special because it's theirs. And of course there's Nuggan, sir. Their god. I've brought you a copy of the Book of Nuggan.
- I looked through one back in the city, Chinny, - said Vimes. - Seemed pretty stu-
- That wouldn't have been a recent edition, sir. And I suspect it wouldn't be, er, very current that far from here. This one is more up to date - said Chinny, putting a small but thick book on the desk.
- Up to date? What do you mean, up to date? - said Vimes, looking puzzled. - Holy writ gets ... written. Do this, don't do that, no coveting your neighbour's ox...
- Um... Nuggan doesn't just leave it at that, sir. He, er ... updates things. Mostly the Abominations, to be frank.

- It's what they call a Living Testament. - Chinny explained. - They - well, I suppose you could say, they "die" if they're taken out of borogravia. They no longer ... get added to. The latest Abominations are at the end, sir - Chinny added helpfully.
- This is a holy book with an appendix?
- Exactly, sir.
- In a ring binder?
- Quite so, sir. People put blank pages in, and the Abominations ... turn up."
