Deleteīut all of the preceding was not really why I decided to write all of this. It just blew me away how many more of these books existed than I ever thought, so kudos to you and your friends and competitors for putting out the volume of works that you did.

But of course the secondary market gave me access to all of those old books from my memories and to my absolute astonishment a plethora of titles I never even heard of, among them the Fabled Lands books (which apparently were available here in the States but for some reason I never ran across them), the Knightmare books, the Virtual Reality series and the Falcon series. I still to this day have no idea what happened to them.
Somewhere along the line most of my old books just disappeared. My own collection was mostly lost when I embarked upon adulthood and traveled across the country. Recently I ran across a gamebook at the local used book store and it sparked memories which got me interested in the genre again and so I started my own personal quest to rebuild my collection of gamebooks from that period. That being taken care of I also would like to say that I am amazed at the volume of work that all of you guys put out during that time. War, and book buyers are in the middle of it. Who won't supply to B&N, so you have to get those from Amazon. The snag there is that the first two books are printed by Createspace,
Or you can buy from Barnes & Noble who, not having their own print division, are happy just to supply what the customer wants without all the hassle.
#Fabled lands grinding how to
If they say they don't know how to do that, give them the ISBN and tell them to look on Gardners. You can ask your local physical bookstore to order a copy for you. Some Amazon customers have told me they even received an email from Amazon saying that they couldn't give a delivery date, only for the book to turn up that very same day. Amazon might tell you it'll take 1-2 months, or even that they are unable to say when the book will be delivered, but the fact is it'll probably arrive within a fortnight. Point is, you should get your book delivered in the same time either way. It does seem as if Amazon's policy is to list books printed by rival POD companies as out of stock, but not to do that if the book is printed by Createspace. That message doesn't appear if you order the smaller format books because we set those up on Createspace, another POD company that Amazon bought a few years ago. So naturally it isn't in stock at the time you order that's the point of print on demand. The reason for that is they're set up for print on demand, which means that when you order a copy, Amazon sends a request to the printer ( Ingram Spark) and your copy is added to the print queue. If you're ordering from Amazon, you're very likely to see a message telling you the books are "temporarily out of stock". These are 8" by 10", matching the original 1990s books - though not, unfortunately, with those old fold-out covers that marked FL out as a hybrid of RPG, gamebook and boardgame.īut here's a heads-up. All of the Fabled Lands books are now back in print in large format editions.
