Oh cool, thanks for posting this. It took me nearly 2 days to read, but I kinda liked it. The Elf was a very enjoyable character.
I even gave In the Night Season a try... unfortunately the Barbarian and Wizard are the only ones that lived.

Interesting to note, In the Night Season it is brought up on a few occasions that it's happening on Samhein Eve, which is the night before Halloween. Clever for Baloban to incorporate the pagan holiday.

Talked me into it, I ordered the books.

Screaming Spectre and Tyrants Tomb I got off Ebay for $48 each. Fellowship of Four I found on Amazon for $56.

I do PDF with OCR

These are nice for historical purposes.

For those interested in what might be the best versions that I had made, see the following:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/ ... sp=sharing

These were done by guillotining the books and flat scanning each page at 1200dpi, cleaning and realigning each page and dropping them down to 300DPI.

This is my preferred way of dealing with books as it retains the original page layout and paragraph structures - of course take a bloody long time to do though. I originally planned to do the entire original Fighting Fantasy book series in the same way but then realized that even if I did 4 a year, it would take me 15 years to complete (and possible my marriage in the meantime) haha...

Footnote, I met Stephen Baloban once many years ago and got to check out his collection, it was bloody brilliant - at the time he was possibly the only person in Australia who had the Barbarian & Elf Quest Packs, and had almost every version & reprint from every country in the world.
