Well met
Interesting! Tell me, Sage, what are these particular articles? I assume they contain more than merely fiend statistics? I don't recall ever seeing such within Dragon 
Regardless, this is certainly a tome in which i'll be interested in. From the title, it looks like (sales figures permitting, of course), that we will see subsequent volumes covering fiends from other planes  |

It's probably based on all the Demonomicon articles that have been appearing recently in the magazine. They just did like 3 of the Demon Lords and usually have one every two months or so. They may just be detailing all the old Demon Lords for 3rd edition... not the major ones, but people like Kostochie or Faz-urb'luu (they did him in a recent Dragon).

They're the "Demonomicon" articles... CFB's got it right  .

| Eric Boyd suggested on Paizo's site that one of the Demonomicon articles should have a list off all the know abyssal layers, its ruler, and commonly stated name. I think that would be interesting to see, thought the Realmsian version would be slightly different (Level 66 for example). |

From Enworld
Fiendish Codex I: Hordes of the Abyss The comprehensive sourcebook of demons in the D&D world.
Fiendish Codex I: Hordes of the Abyss is a comprehensive sourcebook covering the most dangerous (and popular) fiends in the Dungeons & Dragons cosmology: demons. It provides detailed information about the powers, tactics, and organization of the forces of the Abyss - both those covered in the Monster Manual and entirely new foes. In addition, this book provides new rules, feats, tactics, spells, and equipment for characters who battle fiends. Extensive story and campaign elements add dimension to playing or fighting creatures of this type. Included is extensive information on the layers of the Abyss and the ruling demon lords, demonic possession, and how to use demons in a campaign.
by James Jacobs, Erik Mona, Ed Stark; 160 pages, $29.95
I wonder if there will be any FR side bars in this book......

That would be excellent...I'm just glad that they're focusing on each group of fiends separately, instead of forcing them all together...and here I was worried the monster groups sourcebook series was going to end(Now I'm just hoping that the environment and Heroes of x series haven't done just that...)! |

| I wonder what the chances are that Ed would get to do the Fiendish Codex for Devils? He did after all write all those 9 Hells articles in Dragon..... |

| I'm practically giddy with excitement. I love the Dragon articles. I'm afraid I'm going to get my hopes to high for this one..... |

Erik Mona mentioned on ENworld that the book is labeled "Vol I." Vol II will probably be on the Nine Hells. And Erik has mentioned elsewhere that Ed's articles on the Hells are near of the TOP of his favorite D&D stuff. So I would expect a lot of those NPC's to be officially converted by WOTC for 3.x
The Tome of Horrors from Necromancer Games has 3.o stats for most of the NPC's from Ed's articles.
