Is "bound-leaf" a printing term? Doesn't sound like a spiral-bound copy. I asked, but haven't received an answer.

I suspect with many collectors, actual print run differences are a minor issue when the product is virtually identical, particularly when there is a very large difference in condition.
bombadil wrote:Plus, in this case, there are a few collectors out there (myself included) who really like the idea of owning a woodgrain that was the personal copy of a major personality in rpg history. It definitely adds to the "collector value" of the item.Provenance itself is a vastly important component of collecting, IMO.
