In which ccase it would not be the first time that there was a transposition of numbers on one of thier books, i.e the map from DL2-Dragons of Flame has a product code that matches up from DL3-Dragons of Hope, if you remember that.

There are 2 versions of Mentzer expert! The differences are numerous, but confined to the spells-per-day, thief skills, and saving throw tables.

So perhaps the Acaeum page does not include complete print info for this product.Perhaps TSR first included the Errata Sheet with the rulebook, and then incorporated the Errata into the rulebook?Netrodent, did you carefully check all of the numbers in each table for differences? If so, you could have a rulebook from after the Errata was incorporated.
