One of the used bookstores I frequent has a couple of these (#2 and 3 I think), and I've been tempted on a couple different occasions to buy them, but have never gotten around to it. Interesting trivia notes related to these books: 1) aparently the first book is explicitly set in The World of Greyhawk and mentions places like Ratik and Bone March by name, but this element is downplayed/dropped in the later books in the series; 2) the co-author, Flint Dille, also co-wrote the screenplay for the ill-fated D&D movie with Gary (the one that was to have co-starred Orson Welles and been directed by John Boorman); 3) Flint Dille is the son (or grandson?) of the Buck Rodgers creator, and when Gary was looking for an investor to give TSR a much-needed cash infusion in the wake of the Blumes' mismanagement Flint recommended his sister, Lorraine. Alas, we all know how that deal turned out...

They have a whole section on these game books. They seem to be a combination rpg/choose your own adventure books. They have a narnia series 2.

There are four Gygax Sagard books, but he's apparently only loosely involved in them (they're co-written by Flint Dille, but maybe not all 4???). Details from the GH index by Roger Moore:
I haven't read them yet, but they do sit on the shelf.
