I got the Adventure Book I and II in the 1990s, long after they would have been useful for me, but as a reminder of what was and a carrier for weapons-grade nostalgia, they’re still great.

I once tracked down Mia McCroskey, who worked on both books (she was the editor of the second). She wrote:

“As I recall, Kim Schuette passed away a number of years ago. I think he was probably in his sixties when he wrote these books. He was a kind, quiet mannered man dedicated to reviewing every entry he could find in the then nascent PC game world.”

It was at the city-wide garage sale that they have down at the fairgrounds a couple of times a year. It’s a fundraiser for non-profit organizations. The booth I bought it from was the “Oklahoma Home School Robotics Club”. If $2 helps fund some young kids who like to build robots, count me in.

$2? Did you find this in Nichols Hills or something?
