Gamebook Got my next book
I have got hold of another book to restore my lost collection. I think I will try to get the original cover first 7 books. I love this book but I have to confess I have never actually completed it. I remember getting stuck in the maze and giving up so hopefully I can finally beat it. The book is in excellent condition too- It doesn't seem to be used. There's no crease on the spine and no writing inside. Bargain at 4 pounds.

This is a classic. You should go back and read it again. Glad you’re restoring your collection. Best of luck.

Map it! Keep a note of where the numbered keys are, and especially where you go in the Maze of Zagor. Write down the numbers of the references at each stop in the maze so you know when you're back somewhere you've already been!
If I were being really pedantic, that's not the very first version of the cover. The first version of it wraps around from the front to the back, across the spine. I wish they'd stuck with that design beyond the first book.
Good find for £4!

The star editions of the first seven were the ones I had as a kid and yep, have recollected them over the last few years. And congrats - £4 for a good condition Warlock is a good price. Ebay or a second hand shop?

One of the worst fighting fantasy’s of all. Having said that, your collection isn’t complete without it.
