Hmmm, actually that is pretty slow for this lot.    

To say I'm narked off with Brian for letting the cat out of the bag is an understatement!

Pretty Rough condition and printing is unconfirmed, but hell who's complaining, its still a Woody.

    Now, see, this is the kind of thing that interests me.  This is not some whimp's shelf copy or some poor sap's closet detritus.  This is a set of books that has been gamed.  Who can tell the number of harrowing underworld encounters these books must have provided?  If this were Shadowrun I would be speculating about the spirits attached to this particular piece of game history.   Yeah.  I can almost hear the echoes from here.

Doesn't appear that heavily gamed, given the condition of the front cover if all three books are bound together (would love to know how that works minus all back covers!).

If ya want to see a well-used first print, check back at that one Stephen just re-sold (at a loss) or those I have here that roughed it through Blackmoor...

Would be good to know the history of any such item, though, I must admit.

Hey, at least you can't accuse me of not providing a high-res, large-format pic in the auction description, whether it cost me in the end or not.  It took that baby about 2 minutes to load with a dial-up connection.  Truth in advertising...

$50-60 would be a pretty good price and ditch whatever's not of interest in the rest. Nice spot, <lokiwookie>.

Gee... why does no-one listen to me when I say ST1 isn't "worth" $2,500, then?

"Good price", tfm. I wanted them both, but my regular proxy bidders also had an interest in those (smart peeps) ^^

In this case,

Repeat until "happy", broke or both!
