Today I was searching for information on the various styles of Fabuland
books produced.
My first stop, as usual, to find any Fabuland related information is Sybrand
Bonsma's "The Unofficial Fabuland Homepage".
http://members.tripod.com/~Sybrand_Bonsma/fabu1eng.html
He has details on 2 types of books.
http://members.tripod.com/~Sybrand_Bonsma/fabuland/pages/nonsets/nonsets.html
16 small paperback books and 4 larger hardback books (which are designated
as being published by Pumpkin Press on the "blighty" site reference given a
little later).

He has translated one of these small books, "Donnie Dogge" from German to
English. (thank you!)

Via Google, I found a very helpful link with information on additional
Fabuland books. (I think this is the site of a fellow Lugnet person,
located in the UK, Mark ? -There was a link back to Lugnet.)
http://blighty.bizland.com/Lego1.html
He has a treasure trove of information on the various styles of Fabuland
books published, dates of publication and titles. (thank you!)
The site also has some other Lego book information too -Space, Castle,
Pirates and Duplo.
