Mrs Bradshaw's Handbook

Pratchett's wit always adds a unique flavor. I'm curious whether he envisioned this as a satire of real-world guides or just pure absurdity.

Some of the tips were so ridiculous they made me think about how advice is often more about perspective than practicality. Did others feel similarly?

The setting feels both fantastical and sharply reflective of real societal quirks. I'm wondering if the satire was a conscious choice from the start or evolved during writing.
