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!

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!

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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!

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!
