That's a sure-fire giveaway of a 1st print, beyond the larger lettering in the yellow band. Usually the "ADVANCED D&D" lettering is cropped off a bit (which is another tell-tale sign), but I have a copy where it's more centered.

So he just gave me (free!) the Avalon Hill game "Outdoor Survival" which is referenced in the OD&D books.It's really in pristine shape, un-cut, etc. All the pamphlets and such are in the box.Anyway - that was a very nice gesture from Jim!I'm not sure where to keep it in my collection, since it's not really D&D! But it's kind of nifty.
