No mention about printing (my 1977 printing copy states 4th printing) so 3rd print?I'm in agreement with Kynan that the comb bound copies are later per his footnote on corrections and cut-and-paste work.It's not beyond the realms of possibility that some sheets for the 2nd T&T had been left around unbound, but does require explanation and/or collaboration, IMHO: at present, afaik, you have the only "possible" item in that domain regardless of how it came to be bound.

I'd planned to dig around for other possible variations but it's a bit hit-or-miss under the circumstances and I only have a few spares of some of those.
faro wrote:> Do you have any information about that? What let you think that Supplement could had several printing?I distinctly recall different ink colors (black vs. blue), for one, but need to set aside those copies to compare when I next have a rummage through in order to confirm that's not just a pigment of my imagination. Compare http://tomeoftreasures.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1473 with http://www.dragonsfoot.org/forums/viewt ... 39#p394839 , for example.
faro wrote:> I wonder if the T&T UK print (the one with the spiral on cover) has several prints too.*nods* That thought had occurred but no obvious differences thus far afaik from the handful of copies seen.

Finally, it could fit However, no mention of the US 3rd print (only the Digest size UK ed.).

stratochamp wrote:likewise i have two supplements: one has an orange illustration cover and is 10 pages, and the other has a black illustration cover and is 12 pages. the black one has an extra section starting on page 10 which says "the following material was added to the supplement in april of 1976." i hope this helps with what you're asking.
faro wrote:I didn't think Schick had all the material on-hand and was rather presuming he "guessed" at the chain of prints, flubbing that slightly. He does seem surer on Buffalo Castle but I wasn't too keen to take him "on authority" for either from what I'd actually observed previously
