Does anyone remember "The Book of Adventure Games"?

I might not have the title right, but it is a nostalgic book series. There were 2 of them. They had maps & walkthroughs of a TON of text adventures, and I think even a few RPGs. Every Infocom, Questprobe, Scott Adams, and several more text adventures were covered. It was a big 'ol book. With the Scott Adams games covered, even TI users could make use of them.

Yeah, I have the first one. Cool book.

 

The title is indeed "The Book of Adventure Games", and is by Kim Schuette. It was published in 1984 with an MSRP of $19.95 (which is about $40 today). I was going to list out all the games it covers, but the list is huge! This seems like a must-have for anyone who likes adventure games from that era. Sure, the info is available online, but this is so much cooler.
