This should be an easy one, but there is so much information on Warhammer out there that I am confused.  Came across this massive hardback:




Games Workshop, 1986, 368 numbered pages.

Cornerwear, plus small tear at bottom of spine edge on back.  Otherwise all good.

Does anyone know if this is a first print?

Any clue about value? I've seen everything from $2 up, but can't find this exact book.

Thanks!

Thanks, kop!  Appreciate the help.

The hardcover is the first printing.  There were two softcover editions (one by GW, one by Hogshead).

Value is realistically in the $10-20 range, but WFRP can go all over the place.

This is the same one that I already posted above.

It can be somewhat difficult to find a hardcover version in good shape. The spine and binding does not appear to be the greatest, given the relatively large size of the book. Also, I am not sure, but I think the European version comes with a dust jacket (again, I am not sure if that is the case, but it is what I was told by hardcore Warhammer collectors) which would make that version somewhat even more rare (complete, anyway.) I have two of these, one beat to hell and the other pretty good (not anywhere near near mint) and I paid a bit to get them simply because the hardcovers don't seem to show up on eBay very often (maybe they do, but I just miss them) and then, when they are there, a price war breaks out over them... so, I'd say the price you could probably expect to get for a resale is $25-45, or maybe even higher. Warhammer stuff gets weird when its sold.

Some of the books, like Inquis Exterminatus, come with a dust jacket... but those tend to be "special" books, so I would be inclined to agree that it is unlikely that normal, ordinary RPG books would have them. Perhaps I am misremembering what I was told... which could be wrong information anyway, but worth looking into (I think) to verify or quell.
