My guess is that they're the books by Flying Buffalo, running from I to
VI. Going by FB's catalog, I contains "25 detailed businesses, many
colorful NPC's, and over 70 supplemental adventures for city-based
scenarios." It seems to be a product that's not aimed at any specific RPG,
but it does seem to be mainly a fantasy-game product.

It also seems to have been around since 1983.

When you write "fantasy-game product" do you mean it's directed towards
products like **&*, and the businesses included are things like the Towns
Blacksmith, Fletcher, Sages etc. - In short is it usefull for Shadowrun ?

With "fantasy" I mean medieval fantasy RPGs like AD&D, not cyberpunk/
sci-fi/modern-day/what-have-you settings. The subtitle of the book is
"Butcher, Baker, Candlestick Maker" so that gives it away a bit, don't you
think? :)

My usual mail order address lists all six of them, all for about 10 UK
pounds each. I don't know when the last one came out, as the only FB
product I own is their 1995 catalog...
