and they actually had it on display in the window - I saw it from across the parking lot! I went in and found out that the copy of UA plus four DMGs, a couple of "new cover" MMs and a Legends and Lore (1e DMG, revamped w/new title sans Cthulhu and Elric, of course) in stock. Maybe one PHB. More to the point, the seller had brought boxes of Grenadier minis and I had missed buying them by a matter of hours
Ah well. I got the UA, and that`s what counts. Since then I`ve found another used bookstore who`s owner`s son is a 1e AD&D player and dumps his "unwanteds" at mom`s store (she actually played in his campaign, too!)...this nice lady tracked down the whole "Saltmarsh (U1-3)" series for me, so I have real copies now! Woo hoo!
Sorry, got off track. all I`m interested in from 1e) the PHB, DMG, MM, MM2, Fiend Folio, UA, etc. ad infinitum. That plus the Dragon Magazine archives should keep my 1e campaign going for years!
Yeah, my email will bounce all over the damn place. Y`gotta watch out for that
