It seems that I owe Mark Leeper an apology. In a recent
posting about the various "multi-path adventure" books,
he mentioned that Bantam Books started the idea with its
"Choose Your Own Adventure" series. I responded with a
comment that it was Pocket Books, not Bantam, that had
done the "CYOA" books, and that Bantam had the "Which
Way" series, I also said that I wasn't sure which series
was actually first without consulting my collection.
	Well, I did consult my collection, and much to
my embarrassment, I found that Mark was right and I was
wrong. The "CYOA" books were indeed published by Bantam,
and they were the first. Pocket published the "Which Way"
series.

This is the second time that I've managed to stick my
foot in my mouth in SFL, and its a trend I don't like.
Of course, it's not a bad overall record, when you
consider all the times I've been right. :-)

Oh, well, next time I'll check my "facts" *before* I
post them.
