One of his books that I have is called, "Adventurer's Handbook, a guide
to role playing games", by Bob Albrecht and Greg Stafford. It's an 8.5"
x 11" format and 204 pages. Also, if I remember correctly, he had a
beginner's series in one of the computer magazines (Popular Computer?)
in the early 80's called the Wizard's Castle, or Now What Do You Do, or
something like that, and I think he was the one who went by the name of
George Firedrake. I'm relying on 20 + years of faulty memory here, so
someone please correct me.
