In 2010 Rebellion's Mongoose Publishing subsidiary published the first part of what was intended to be a thirteen volume guide to the world of Judge Dredd. Though released by the company's gaming branch, the books were not gamebooks, containing no gaming information, instead being closer in format to Marvel Handbooks or DC's Who's Who. Twelve hardback volumes, 128 pages each, were intended to be released via retailers, one a month, with the thirteenth volume an exclusive, free but only available if ordered directly from Mongoose using twelve tokens, one apiece to be cut from the first twelve releases. However, for reasons not specified, Mongoose cancelled the series after only the first three hardbacks had been released.
