I greatly enjoyed & still enjoy this entire series. I bought the first two books (in their U.S. "Quest" editions) years ago, and gradually acquired Books 3-6 (in the UK "Fabled Lands" edition) from eBay. Per an announcement this week on the Fabled Lands blog, the first 6 books will be reprinted (as mass-market paperbacks @ $7.99 each) in early 2011, and will be available from Amazon.com. If those show decent sales, Books 7-12 will then finally be published for the first time, in the same format.
Also, if you've always wanted to have a group of friends adventure in the Fabled Lands together, an RPG based on the Fabled Lands books is also coming out in early 2011 (further details on the Fabled Lands blog; a Google/Yahoo search for "Fabled Lands blog" will get you there quickly enough). Woo hoo!

this is the the most detailed, flexible and playable choose your own adventure series yet. I have the first two and am desperate to find more. I thought they hadn't made more until I read here that others have them. PLEASE them me how you got them!!!!!!!! I'm addicted to these books, and I need more!!!!!

My wife found this in a clearance rack at our local Safeway store and thought I might like it. I actually forgot about it until 2 months later. I was drawn into it last week, and could not put it down. I think it is a wonderful role-playing adventure. I only have this one, and am searching for more books. There was a web-site that had the entire series, but it was taken off the web. If anyone can, please let me know where I can find more in the series. Thank you!

I bought this game today and im an experienced Role player,Ifound this book in the childrens discount section and I was shoked atthe fact that it was only 3.97! I had to purchase it and so I did.There was no reasurance it would be good but I found that it is the best role playing game ive played yet!!!!!

This is one of my favorite of the quest series because of the seperate tasks you get from the different temples. This book is like playing a role playing game on your computer but getting the benefits of reading. I am 13 years old and before reciving this book as a gift from my grandmother I was in no intrest of reading at all. I would much rather play a video game but now I'm catching up with reading novels that I've always wanted. I also learned many more words that have been added to my seventh grade vocabulary.

book was in good shape, but i found a computer file that has all of the published books in one comprehensive file online, along with interactive menus, maps, etc.

I think Dave Morris and Jamie Thomson have started something that won't stop until they've created a whole universe. The game is a little hard at first, but that's not enough to lose it any more than one star. It's a really great idea. They've actually produced something that no one has ever thought of before.

I once owned "war torn kingdom" and "cities of gold and glory"
but I lost them both in a house fire. I have always wished to own the entire series. But I would be happy with one for the time being. Info on where to get any would be great.

You're right, these books are genius. Books 1-6 in the series were released in the UK under the name "Fabled Lands". I own books 1, 2, 4, and 5 and would be very interested to know where i could get 3 and 6.

I got this book for my birthday, but didn't play it until 3 months later. I loved it!!!! I found out that Cities of Gold and Glory are part of the Series, all I want to know how many more their and and where I can get them and their name!!!!
