Hi Neville, congrats on the book haul. The FF series have several cover variants over the years. Happy to share more info on its history next time. The unnumbered spine had a short run up to book 39. Midnight Rogue is number 29 and Fangs of Fury is number 39. All the best in completing your collection!

[@NevsBookChannel]

Ah yes, 39! I actually found my copy of 40. It had fallen down the side of the sofa when I took them all off my shelf!

[@casualcommentor]

Only one I ever read was beneath nightmare castle, and I had completely forgotten it was fighting fantasy 😅. Thanks for bringing back great memories. I will be looking forward to the reviews

[@NevsBookChannel]

You’re welcome! They’re super fun

[@TheRedPolyhedral]

Impressive collection - I only have 1-13 in UK numbering, which is different to US numbering apparently. I'm reliably informed that Starship Traveller is worse than Sky Lord, and I hope you're planning to play the books (note the keywords, etc) rather than just read them!

[@NevsBookChannel]

Challenge accepted! I generally just read through every path but I think for this series I’ll have one good crack at playing properly before reading the whole thing. And yeah Starship Traveller is pretty bad!

[@OnlyTheBestFantasyNovels]

Pretty awesome haul!

[@NevsBookChannel]

Thanks!

Hi Nev, great haul, as always, I can almost smell the moldy perfume through my tv-screen. Never heard of this series before. Please tell us more about the What, Why, When & How and such of this series.

[@NevsBookChannel]

Have you heard of choose your own adventure books? These are like those but with dice and very lite d&d type mechanics. I’ll probably do an intro video to the series before I start on the first book

[@DutchGreyBeard]

@@NevsBookChannel No, this whole concept is not familiar to me, but then again I didn't grow up with d&d. Sounds interesting, though.

[@NevsBookChannel]

@@DutchGreyBeard Choose your own adventure books were very popular in the 80’s before computer graphics got more fancy

[@lastridge]

Bravo mate, enjoyed this. Nothing more exciting than receiving a collection of green spines! Only thing you didn't disclose was how much these copies cost you in today's market, which would have been interesting.

[@NevsBookChannel]

I was so excited when the box arrived! It was a fair price I think.

[@alistairgreer]

They look great! I'd be interested in your play throughs/read throughs of them 😃 I was lucky enough to get everything up to around 44 as a kid (many through scouring charity shops!), and got the rest in the mid 2000s before they got incredibly expensive.

[@NevsBookChannel]

Thanks! Yeah, the prices are getting pretty insane now. Have you played all those 44?

[@alistairgreer]

@@NevsBookChannel i think so, yeah! But some not for 30+ years 😂

[@alistairgreer]

@@NevsBookChannel I've still got the maps I made as a kid, some from before I could write joined up ✍️

[@NevsBookChannel]

@@alistairgreer that’s fantastic! I may have to do some digging to see if I have any
