They were never written, so far as I know, and are thus unavailable to be read. Note that Volo's Guide to All Things Magical is listed in both red and black; the original version was suppressed (in canon), and then was later re-written and released.

Volo's Guide to the Dragon Coast & Westgate? Bet that would be a fun ride and read!

I would snatch up such a book in a heartbeat!

Look for me and my content at EN World (user name: sanishiver).

I'd rush right out to buy any new Volo's Guide. Those were some of the best Realms books we ever got.

They sure were. Ahh, the good old days. I really hope they let Ed release Volo from that Imprisonment spell I know he's been under so he can continue his journeys!

If more had come, Westgate and the Dragon Coast, Lands of Intrigue, or the Shining South would have been the next Volo's Guides. To wish what might have been..

Sadly, I don't think I'd want any for the 5E Realms. They'd be a shining jewel of detail and realmslore in a vista of bland, generic setting that would just highlight how badly the Realms has been treated since the Spellplague. If Ed Greenwood was allowed to write them for the pre-Spellplague era, that would be amazing.

On page 186 of "Volo's Guide to Cormyr", Volo promised to give a complete entry on the growing village of Redspring in a future edition of his Cormyr guide.

I'd love to see that book published.

Look for me and my content at EN World (user name: sanishiver).
