Just a quick note that the aforementioned Chronicals of arborell have now opened up their own discussion forum, a perfect place to chin wag about gamebooks in general, and Arborell in particular. there's even a specific forum devoted to access for the eyeball deficient!
So, head over to yonder forum and have fun!
Our souls with high music ringing; O men! It must ever be
That we dwell in our dreaming and singing, A little apart from ye. (Arthur O'Shaughnessy 1873.)
