I’m not sure if the author is actually keeping track of things but CYOA are still popular. I was literally one of the first wave of kids who got the books (I have a first printing, first edition of Cave of Time) and thought it would be fun for my kids to read.
But you can’t find it for less than $6-8 per used book, even on eBay. They are pretty expensive and very popular. Very disappointing from the point of someone who wants to buy them cheap but it’s nice to see that they are still appreciated.

- codingdave 8y agoThey have reissues for the books by R.A. Montgomery through chooseco. The books by Edward Packard are not included. I did a bit of Googling, and found an interview where he explains that it was a trademark thing, where Random House let it lapse, Montgomery snagged it and put his books out under the trademark of 'CYOA', while Packard instead made some into mobile apps under the name U-Ventures: http://www.gradyhendrix.com/edward-packard-interview/ http://www.gradyhendrix.com/edward-packard-interview/
