Fighting Fantasy books going cheap...

Or free, even.

I've 'just' moved house. A modest 'international' move. From Wales to Yorkshire. The actual move started in the summer but we only moved into our new house in November, and for a number of reasons, not least of which I still work most weeks back in Wales, we've only just got round to unpacking some of our boxes. Including those containing my Fighting Fantasy gamebooks.

Now, I have a few duplicates, having slowly but surely added to my original collection and replaced (and replaced again) the tattier books as I buy 'job lots' from eBays, car boots, charity shops, etc. Being a rather unhealthy collector, I keep one of each cover variant - so for example I have 4 copies of The Warlock of Firetop Mountain on my shelf (plus Brett Schofield's adaptation to AFF2e). But even so, I have a few I'd like to pass on to a good home. And I'm guessing that the people reading my blog, or visiting here from Google+, are more likely to give these books a good home than the average Doncaster charity shop.

See here are what I have on offer.

[a] FF#4 Starship Traveller (Original Cover - pre-green spine) in fairly solid shape.

[b] FF#4 Starship Traveller (Original Cover - pre-green spine) a few creases on the cover but in otherwise good shape.

[c] FF#4 Starship Traveller (Jagged Green) with a some quite visible creases on the cover near the spine. OFFERED REFUGE

[d] FF#8 Scorpion Swamp (Gold Dragon) in pretty tatty shape. REHOMED

[e] FF#11 Talisman of Death (Jagged Green) solid condition, though quite yellowed pages. REHOMED

[f] FF#11 Talisman of Death (Gold Dragon) creases on the cover, but solid.

[g] FF#13 Freeway Fighter (Jagged Green) superficially tatty cover. ADOPTED

[q] Wizard Books # 14 Armies of Death in very tatty shape, with some red ink having leaked onto the corners of the first three of so pages. Perfectly playable, with no loose pages.

[r] Wizard Books #28 Spellbreaker in as close to new condition as an unread second hand book can be. ADOPTED

And I also have a duplicate Lone Wold #4 The Chasm of Doom, with the original Sparrow Books Gary Chalk cover. Lovely, in pretty good condition. CLAIMED

THE OFFER: If you are in the UK, and want (or even need) one or more of these books, and promise to give them a good home, just get in touch on here or on Google+ and I'll post it to you. First come, first served, I'm afraid. But remember, a gamebook is for life, not just for Christmas!
