I do not have a first printing as my numberline ends with 2.  I bought a three volume box set where the cardboard sleeve has alternate Elmore art and contains the three books.  Winter Night and Spring Dawning are first prints as the number line ends with 1.  Regarding the copyright date of 1984 I don't think that would change.  The printing info that would show future years would be two number lines.  One indicating the printing and the other indicating the year of the printing.  I don't recall any of the TSR novels of that paperback era to have the year.  In modern terms for a first print that came out today the year line might look something like "23 24 25 26 27 28.." or the order is reversed and the printing might look something like "10 9 8 ... 3 2 1" for a first print.  Depending on the publisher I've seen the order reversed.  From the UK, the books I have actually state something like First Printing or Twelfth Printing or something like that without a numberline.  Maybe that's changed as I haven't bought books from there recently.

I also have first printings of the RA Salvatore Drizzt novels that were initially paperback only like Dragons of Autumn Twilight (Chronicles, Legends, etc.)  I think the first TSR hardcover was the fourth Drizzt novel by Salvatore.

Nice that you have a first print of Autumn Twilight!  I've never seen one before and the 2nd print I have is the oldest one I've seen (In terms of printing sequence).

This whole series would have been a great start for a movie series. I enjoyed the latest movie, but I dont understand why why dont use their IP. Video games do it in less than 20 years.

Mine is 1994 and the 33rd printing. The other 2 books in the series are 26th and 21st with that same year.

Everyone I know loved them. They were appropriately written for teen fantasy. It spawned an obscene amount of books that were prequels, post quels, pre pre quels, spin offs and more. They made modules out of the OG series as well. The authors went on to write a lot of other books. I put the ones in bold I believe were all related to the original series, characters and world.
