(Actually, almost all the guy's RPG items seem to be the same, this one's just picked at random. I get it, you've got a lot of stock -- I'd have liked to have seen the actual item you're offering though. :roll:

Extremely rare upside-down printing of Keep on the Borderlands.

"Slightest to none shelfwear".

Seller must be smoking dried moose droppings up there in Ontario. Obviously something wrong with his eyes. :lol:

That is funny. Look at his M1, "clean pages free of stains or writing" - maybe there is a fine print disclaimer down the bottom - 'this statement excludes tears, scrunching, folding and having been fed through a shredder.'

[edit: Removed my critical comments because I asked the seller if he knew these were coverless. Seller says, "NO! I did not Thank You! I have covers to match, I know nothing about D&D I guess you found that out. I will revise"]
