PM-Knight wrote in Fun Finds in the Past:These just arrived last night and I was pretty happy with all of them, except for the Player's Handbook, which appeared to be cropped poorly. The bottom of the pages have too much white space and the tops of the pages are cut at the header, almost cutting off the text.

I know that these were not a great deal, but pretty good considering no shipping costs and the Arduin Grimoire books were in great shape, but laminated, so I will use them as play copies

Um... no... This is a great deal...

Early TSR/D&D advertisements & catalogs
Same artist?

I was once told (I forget who told me) that the Suspicion cover was a photograph of TSR staffers.

On the face of it the BIN was a decent price for a later Holmes Box Set in good condition...
5th or 6th print
However: this listing offered a little something extra.
Check the right side of the first picture.

It looks like an Outdoor Geomorphs.

Yep, that's what I get for answering without checking.  ST is right.  Dungeon Geomorphs Set One.  That's standard for a Holmes box set, but they weren't shrinkwrapped, if I recall correctly.  This one is.

The $20 shipping takes the polish off, but still not shabby.

Toad and Foul are both right.
It is (I am fairly sure) the Set One Dungeon Geos in SW, which were not a part of the later Wizard Logo Holmes Box Set.
So this set is an additional bonus item.

Yes, and this is the main reason I hesitated for a while after seeing the listing.
Also because I already have this printing (5th/6th) of Holmes.

Eventually, the SWed Dungeon Geos pulled me in.
I will likely keep the Geos and re-list the box set with a MUCH lower shipping rate BTW...

Zenopus wrote in Fun Finds in the Past:Gnat, when you get that set can you take a close look at this little sheet?

Obviously it is a cut-out of the equipment list, perhaps from a photocopy, but it also looks like some writing was added to the bottom. I'd be interested in finding out what this says. Is it some form of player handout or improvised character sheet? Also if there is anything on the back or if there are any other sheets.

Will let you know.
Can scan both sides and post them if you want.

There are a group of D&D related story books for children done by the Kids Stuff company in conjunction with TSR.
The books had a record (or cassette) with the book so the children could read along as the narrator on the record read from the book.
The stories all have the same heroes going on various adventures together.
A thief, a Knight and folks and adventures they encounter.

The program was produced with the idea of helping younger children learn to read.
I believe there were three different book sets, and I think all of them came with Records but I do not know if all came with a choice of Cassettes too.
I have one cassette version but have never seen another.
The record version is much more common.
