The Arduin Grimoire

Okay, used bookstore find:
Trying to determine vintage and how bad the previous owner screwed me Very Happy

I looked at the Treasures and Tomes and I think I have an edition between their 1st and second post:
http://www.tomeoftreasures.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=549
I say this because:
1. It still says Fantasy Gamers
2. Address is still Berkeley
3. It doesn't have a reference to the Arduin Character Pak, goes directly from Citadel of Thunder to Death Heart.

The book in in absolutely cherry shape, I mean absolutely mint...the reason for this is though is that the person contact papered the cover. They did a nice job of it and the cover looks brand new of course. I'll say it probably would have been a wreck if they hadn't considering how they handled books at this store.
How bad does this kill any future resale if I ever thought of it?

I suspect there are a number more prints as well. Serleran also has a later printing. Do you have a cover and catalog scan? If you want to add them to the Tome it would helpful too.

There are many prints of Arduin, more than what is generally "known," and they can be hard to place into position, but they do tend to be fairly obvious that they're "different." Regarding the price... have a scan of it? Smile
