No staple rust, no wear to speak of at all, no creases, clean and unstained maps... just great.Except one thing - on the cover is the misprint of how large the maps are (it says 17" x 22" but the actual maps are 11" x 17"). However, someone took a pen and wrote over the 17 and 22 with 11 and 17. So I'm curious, did JG do some manual correcting on this edition? Or did I just get a copy that the purchaser fixed on his own? Anyone else with a copy that has hand-written corrections of the map sizes?

Third did you check my site to confirm it is a 4th with product list upto #750? Fourth what are the 2 maps you have (you'll know by the manor map on the back of them)?

Fourth what are the 2 maps you have (you'll know by the manor map on the back of them)?Here's the auction I won:http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... %3AIT&rd=1Now, to answer your questions -a) The blue cover is part of the book.b) The color map is stapled in the center of the book.c) I checked your site for the printing, and the highest number on the product list is #750, which is how I surmised it was 4th printing.d) The two maps I have appear to be #24 and #30 from here.I don't have the Tegel with me (I'm at work right now), so I'm only 95% sure of the maps. But I think I'm right on that.Looks like Al's supposition might be right. JG had some mismatched stock...
Plaag wrote:Well you have the odd one out of the bunch..am surprised #30 made it as far to be included with a 4th printing (but then stranger things have happened). When you get a chance to look at the maps again, just confirm the #24/#30. (A much better find if you do have a #30).
El Diablo Robotico wrote:Well, my two maps sure SEEM like #24 and #30. They're not actually labelled with any numbers, so I'm not sure how to tell other than the fact that they're both 11" x 17" and one's a player's map and one's a judge's map. Oh, and they both have a 1977 date on 'em, and they both compare to the scans on the site.

El Diablo Robotico wrote:So I heard back from the seller of my Tegel. He actually sold it for someone else, so he had to go back to ask the original owner. The original owner said that, as far as he could remember, the maps came shrink wrapped with the book, and it wasn't piece-mealed. The OO bought it when it was new, opened it, read it, then promptly stored it away.BTW, the seller mentioned that he'll have other JG items from the OO on auction soon. If they're in as good a shape as the Tegel, they'll be worth looking for. (seller's current stuff - eBay listings)
