It's the only copy I've seen in seven years. My set has the hexagons cut. I presume they were originally printed two to a sheet? 15 cardstock sheets and the cover/instructional sheet in a ziplock? Were they originally produced with architectural dry rub on transfers?

It also came bundled with a copy of the Beast, Men & Gods Errata Sheet. "Fold here and glue into the back of your book."  :D  Remember that?

Yes to all of the questions. They were produced using zip-a-tone or some other similar rub-on transfers. I had problems with the card-stock approach, but when I investigated thicker cardboard and die-cutting, it became obvious that the costs were prohibitive. So, this was not a great product. I liked the idea a LOT and felt that a line of geomorphic tiles would be great, especially for wilderness but for dungeons as well, and of course these have come to pass since then, but I didn't have the resources to pull it off.

I've been so busy that I can't spend time promoting the new edition, so thank you very much for letting people that might be interested know! I messed up the first preview on CreateSpace.com and so it is no longer there, the one VaultKeeper posted here (https://www.createspace.com/Preview/1082747) should work. It is a large PDF. I hope I didn't overdo the preview! :)

If you are one of the other four Opera users in the world, then you need to use Firefox or another browser to complete the order.  After the order failed to process half-a-dozen times, I gave in and used Firefox.
