Goblins of the Labyrinth is a book based on the detailed concept sketches Brian Froud drew for the Goblins in Labyrinth.
The book is presented as a study of goblinology originally catalogued by Dash, described as the "Reynolds of goblin portraitists." His forty-three notebooks are said to have been an archeological discovery by Brian Froud who has interpreted them alongside "noted academic" Terry Jones.
In reality, the book is the culmination of sketches produced by Froud during the very earliest stages of developing the mood of the film through a series of designs for the goblins. Froud discusses this process in Inside the Labyrinth, accompanied by visual concepts for several of the creatures later published in the book.
