I dont know where this guy is getting these.  He has sold quite a few of them the last several months.

I'll float the idea that this could be fresh off the press copy.  The paper doesn't look right to me.  It looks very white where original copies are much more yellowy.  Here's an authentic one for comparison:

Although from the looks of it, the seller tried to sell it earlier but it didn't sell.  He also has a couple copies of a later print that he has been selling as well so it could be legit.

Does it make any difference that the auction description states "parchment edition"?

I think by "parchment edition" they are just refering that it is a 1st print.  The 1st prints are basically just printed on parchment paper where as later prints have the colour covers and plain white pages inside.

I know of at least one that was sold, but IIRC he had been starting the auctions for them at $40 at one point.  His MERP and Rolemaster auctions were also being set at very high $ amounts and they werent selling either.

I have thought of biting at the 3rd print Iron Wind with the Cloudlords of Tanara a couple of times.  I don't think $14.99 is a bad price at all for that.

I have one of these and the cover is way more yellowish than the picture here!

You can just barely see the parchment texture in the picture.  Could it just be a washed-out photo?

THANKS!!!!

oh, come to papa!! oh, yes, you will be mine.  Tea tastes so much better from a D&D mug.  And of course with a chocolate biscuit or three.  

Oh yes - I would certainly use it. Of course, I would then wash straight away it so it doesn't get tea stains.    But, my D&D mugs are kept in a kitchen cabinet (ready for use) rather than on shelves or packed carefully away.  

As to tea - I prefer Yorkshire Tea.

Which makes a nice strong brew.  But I actually think you can make a good cup of tea with any old teabags.  what is most important is (a) just-boiled water, (b) fresh milk (no, not that long life stuff), (c) let the teabag brew for a minute, (d) a good chocolate biscuit. Of all these the most important is water temperature.  You simply cannot get a good cuppa without boiling water.

Here is a helpful website.

May have to try that Yorkshire tea out.
Not sure which brand it was that I had tried that was brought back from the UK, but it was far superior to anything I've found here.

Thanks!
