Thank you, again.1.<clip question sent via eBay, last Thursday>Howdy Paul, Could you please let me know the height of each of the OD&D 1st print books at the spine, to the nearest 1/4 mm if possible. Would normally like to know the height of the centre page at the staples, but I'm certain I wouldn't want to open these books enough to slip a ruler inside. If the guillotining is good, the cover should hopefully be very close to the same size. (Please let me know if it's not, or if there are any other problems taking measurements...). Ditto, for the height of the centre fold of the reference sheets. Many thanks, David.</clip>2.A close-up of the text offset on the U&WA, perviewtopic.php?p=21767&lighter=#217673.How the shades of red/green/blue on the cover text compare(d) with the other three 1st prints you had (two left now?).4.What information you might have on the history of the set and that the components are as-issued.5.Any particular reason why the U&WA might have more staple rust than the other two volumes?6.Whether the books do lay flat, or if there's any page curl at the right-hand corners (esp. the U&WA)?Hrmm... enough there, I think; and two questions more than I'd planned. rsvp.p.s. Thanks for that "additional condition information" at the foot of your auction. Wish I had any flaws as minor as those on my 1st prints

stormber wrote:Howdy David,You know David, I have answered over 200 messages in the last 5 days, your's was the only 6 part, measured to the .25 mm, "oh and by the way, compare to your *other* four 1st prints" questions. To be honest I didn't think you were bidding, only that you were doing more research.I only check on the Acaeum for questions that I think are critical to the success of my auctions (when I am busy running them). Your questions seemed pedantic in relationship to the auction and, while I intended to answer them, they seemed to not be top priority during a very busy time.Sorry for my misunderstanding your intents.So whether you choose to bid or not (This thread has a lot of bidding-blackmail in it doesn't it?) I will give you the answers I would have given as a point of research anyway.
