Yes, I had some of those too, and they are closer to a pick-your-path book in terms of node count. Those can get quite large. I'm using "nodes" as a techy catch-all term; in adventures they correlate to "paragraphs", and in books "pages".
If I recall, they worked on a similar principle to the Ace Of Aces combat books, no? I remember playing that one ages ago, fun concept.
