The Sorcery! Spell Book by Steve Jackson

Remember this ? The Sorcery! Spell Book for use with the Sorcery! role playing game book (Choose your Own Adventure) books!


Of course you do!!! Its the companion book to the Sorcery! choose your own adventure books by Steve Jackson!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Published by Penguin books in 1983!!!!
 
You know this book as the Spellbook that made casting spells a three letter word. Kinda like this example.....who didn't think "Yob, Yob, where's my baby, Yob Yob!!!!" Of course you did, you did just now when you read it...........




These are the memories!! I played the HECK out of these books, the Dungeons and Dragons books were a gateway to these. There's a spellbook to go along with it !!! The preface says you need to memorize the spells to play "like a real wizard".....yeah right, I didn't memorize any of it, I bought the book, I just used it. There are some rules associated with using the spellbook with the Sorcery! books but I wont get into em. Its not a big deal. What is? The fact that there was a time when a ten year old boy could walk into Waldenbooks, buy a spellbook and go on his merry way.
 
.......and it only cost $2.95.
