Nah...I drink scotch straight from the bottle.  

Excellent find! The Book of Mars is rather rare in this version on ebay. I don't remember seing a lot of them.

No mailing cover.  I did notice something a bit odd though.  There are four staples in the spine.  Two are of the typical sort you would expect to see in just about any module.  But the other two are thicker and a bit shorter (not quite a half inch in length).  Almost like the manufacturer put two "normal" size staples in and then realized that it wasnt enough to hold the book together but had to use a different size staple because they were out of the other.

I'll need to check my copy, but there were originlly two complete cobers stapled one ofver the other (don't recall if there are two sets of staples in mine, but I have both sets of covers intact. The primary cover is card with an impressed grain to the paper. The shop/mailing cover is identical in both colour and appearance, blank on the inside, but is a printed on paper. I suspect the staples are the reminant of the mailing cover, the other staples actually originally binding the book but being hiden by the mailing/shop shelf cover.

You'll also notice the additional chapters that were omitted from the more common white cover FASA repring of the book. That's a really good find, and a cool item to have in your collection, especially at the price you got it at.

Sweet find, David!!!

The Necros and the Hackmasters are beautiful scores.

Wonderful stuff David, I am very pleased for you!  
The Hackmaster T1-4 seems to be a nice find too.
And everything in great condition.

I finally got my PEGASUS #1



A nice price - a couple of coffee stains on the back of an otherwise nice copy.

The Canadians seem to be having all the fun, recently.

Nice haul, davidc.
