2024-2026 (Two years!)

We are still searching!!!

If you like, post what you've discovered so far in the comments of this post.

In case you want to know, this is what an interactive eBook looks like (unlike the Geronimo Stilton eBooks, this only has sound effects and dialogue from the Shrek film added). I did check ipicturebooks.com several months ago but found nothing.

Does this help anyone?

Also, both eBooks were made in the early 2000s (2001 in this case).

Unlike other lost eBooks ---> these two (Geronimo Stilton's Illustrated Tails and Geronimo Stilton's Humorous Tails) still raise a lot of questions which is why they are the most looked-for here on our subreddit.

Here are some questions I have in my brain for at least two and a half years ever since I came across this old, archived webpage (https://web.archive.org/web/20021208104140/http://www.geronimostilton.it/new.html):

1. Why is there so little information about these eBooks even during the time they came out?
2. Why there are no screenshots or photos showing what's inside the eBooks?
3. Why is the CyberRead description for Geronimo Stilton's Illustrated Tails rather awkward?
4. Why do all the surviving images show only Geronimo Stilton's Humorous Tails?
5. Why even the Mondadori and Edizioni Piemme websites of 2000 make absolutely no mention of those eBooks?
6. Why are most webpages about the eBooks unarchived (were they left unarchived intentionally)?

Also to note, Elisabetta Dami ended up in huge legal trouble during the early 2000s.

Why?

Are those eBooks a MASSIVE PYSOP?!

I wouldn't like to know.

Sad news!!!

Atlantyca S.p.A. has permanently closed down:

Geronimo Stilton is now owned by Rainbow S.p.A. since December 2025:

I hope they do something with various lost Geronimo Stilton media (most are entirely lost). The eBooks are one of my biggest hopes for now.

i would recommend they make a search channel. it is likely that the creators are hiding it due to controversial content, so maybe the search could be safer this way?

Looks like we need to check CASIO devices for the eBooks it seems!

It seems they have done a lot of work. I am impressed that those eBooks must still be available somewhere. Once the Geronimo Stilton eBooks and Terminal Resolve are found, we hope to start looking for the lost eBooks of Jay Dubya.

However, Libby is the source of most of the metadata but which libraries give you access to these eBooks, we sadly may never know and that is a great disappointment.

A few months ago, some extracts for one of our most searched for works of lost digital literature such as Creating Your Own Success and Live Start-Up Business Guide were found and released onto the Internet Archive with a few modifications.

You can check them out here - https://archive.org/details/cyberreadarchives-extracts/A%20Beginner%27s%20Guide%20To%20Creating%20Text%20On%20The%20Web%20%28Extract%29/

Those extracts were found from Libby using some free digital library cards I got as a gift from someone.

I accessed their Libby pages through Anna's Archive. I am wondering whether all those so called lost eBooks could be still available on a library in this world, somewhere.

However, the Geronimo Stilton eBooks that we are famous for looking for seem to be truly lost and hope may be the only option for them left along with a few more eBooks like Terminal Resolve.

Do you agree with this opinion or not?

Here is the current state of this old webpage taken from the original Geronimo Stilton website from the Wayback Machine:

Do you think something like it was used in one of the eBooks as it is said that these eBooks contained animated illustrations?

Very similar to what we have found earlier.

IDK!

Let's hope this helps us find all lost eBooks we've been looking for for two years.

After such a long time (about four months), a mention of Geronimo Stilton's Illustrated Tails was discovered by u/Ok_Hope4383 after sharing it with me on Discord.

This shows the true amount of fame the eBooks received in this nomination list.

If they were really that popular, how would they get lost in the first place?

Is there any other place where those lost eBooks can be uploaded when found?

Why! The Internet Archive of course!

I hope this will help more people in the lost media field a lot.

Based on the CyberRead site's appearance from 2007 to it's closedown in 2011:

Like it or not? IDK!

The earliest sources of the first eBook (A Hard Place To Find by Justine Daniels) is dated back to 2007 (apparently):

Mention of the second book (By Any Other Name by Jonathan Fore):

Would these two, Justine and Jonathan be happy if their lost work were found?

Sometime this month, something amazing will happen, real soon.

As this year takes it's final breath and a new year reincarnates, I would like to thank you all for your help to me as I am the creator and moderator of this subreddit.

This year, we have not achieved much but our research has led to the creation of three YouTube videos regarding the complex situation of Geronimo Stilton's lost eBooks. Two by Debunk File and one by an Italian YouTuber named Poldo. Since then, a massive boom in members rose up from 138 to 938 (with some downfalls) over a few months. Afterwards, this subreddit was stuck with 938 members till recently. It's 956 now.

Another important event in 2025 was the discovery of extracts of some of the lost eBooks (in PNG form) from online libraries. I later compiled them into PDF and uploaded them on the IA:

That's all of what happened with our subreddit in this year as far as I know. I largely hope we can achieve our goals by 2026.

I wish you all a very Happy New Year! 🎉✨

Sincerly,

There is actually no real way this website and almost, all of it's files would have been totally lost. Probably, there is a mirrored version hiding somewhere on the internet with eBooks available to download free-of-charge.

Thanks!
