I just got a copy of a Your First Adventure #11, and it's supposed to be Little Fox and the Birthday Party, but the actual book is titled Little Fox's Best Friend. Does anybody know why there's a difference between the list and the actual book, or have a reason why I shouldn't change it?
EDWARD PACKARD BOOKS Note - several of the Edward Packard books were published prior to the date listed here -- especially Deadwood City, and (IIRC) Third Planet from Altair and Your Code Name is Jonah. Their publication pre-dated CYOA, but they were later integrated into the series. Should include a footnote to that effect. 68.41.72.83 ( talk) 15:45, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
This list is incomplete; some Choose Your own Adventure Books were co-published by TSR, with books set in the worlds of "Dungeons & Dragons," "Top Secret," etc. Minaker 09:54, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
I could have sworn they were Choose Your Own Adventure stories, but evidence I've found on the 'net says the TSR books were a CYOA rip-off series called "Endless Quest." Minaker 11:13, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
That is incorrect. Endless Quest books did not involve die play at all. They were story logs that demanded multiple-choice decisions with a resulting page drop. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 100.10.61.128 ( talk) 13:36, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
There was a series that is not on this list, the Young Indiana Jones CYOA books. Thank you for reminding me, I'll add those today. Chooseco 15:02, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
Am I going insane? I swear I read a CYOA book called "The Purple Dome" when I was a kid, but I can't find it anywhere on the internet. Has anyone else heard of it? 74.94.21.101 ( talk) 23:43, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
I don't understand why CYOA can be listed as "Low" in the literature scale of importance above. According to the scale, it seems that important books are the best known within their categories, not that they are necessarily important within all literature overall. If that's the case, then surely CYOA would be rated "Top" or at least "High", since they pretty much popularized their subgenre of gamebooks, and have in fact become a household word. Thoughts?

Why is 'Escape from the Haunted Warehouse' listed? I cannot find any evidence that this book was published. PatchWar ( talk) 21:28, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
Image:Silking.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.
