A Note About Covers

Be aware when you are looking for 1st Edition books that the Player’s Handbook, Monster Manual and Dungeon Master’s Guide were all produced with two different covers. One cover was used in early printings and the other was used in later printings. I am partial to the early covers, but the later printings do have errata that some of the early printings do not and they can usually be had for a little less money to boot. If you want to see what both covers look like, check out these links to the Acaeum, which has pictures of both covers for each book.
