The rather odd Herbie Brennan, who sadly died last year, wrote the Grailquest series of very funny Arthurian-portal gamebooks, featuring a dotty Merlin, your sword Excalibur Junior, giant germs, treasure nerds, Poetic Fiends, and so on. Lots of lovely John Higgins art.

Diane Duane's brill Young Wizards has the found-in-the-library spellbook kicking off with "Wizards love words. Most of them read a great deal, and indeed one strong sign of a potential wizard is the inability to get to sleep without reading something first."
that's a line that sticks with you...
