Hey guys, my "holy grail" of AD&D books is the PHB that is 1st,2nd,or 3rd print. They pop up occasionally on eBay, but for pretty expensive. I was wondering if anyone on here had a copy that they'd be willing to let go? (what's the difference? Well, 1st,2nd,or 3rd print does not have the yellow banner on the left side that says ADVANCED D&D, and instead looks like this :

Do you have a Half Price Books in your area? Because you can sometimes find them there, and sometimes they don't bother to check which printing and just price it the same as other printings.
Although some of them are getting savvier about this these days. Still, it wouldn't hurt to check.
Also any other used book stores around. Sometimes you can get amazing bargains. (And sometimes they want $90 for a battered Moldvay boxed set...)
Either way, good luck with your quest!

At a Value Village store I found a 2e DMG 8 years ago, and at a used book store I found a copy of Oriental Adventures with its pages falling out for $30. I don't have very good luck with finding D&D books in the wild, lol!

Well, I'll keep my eye open for it.
As far as Oriental Adventures goes, I still have my original copy. Not in mint condition, but no pages falling out or anything. A bit scuffed, but the interior is completely intact.
I think it's a first printing. At any rate, I bought it on 11-9-85 (according to the receipt, which is still in it).
If you're interested, let me know. I don't use it any more.
