Monster Manual by Gary Gygax

Gary Gygax was a proponent of a more in-depth gaming system than Original D&Dprovided, and in 1977 TSR published this first of the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons hardcovermanuals. Redesigned from the ground up, AD&D provided 'experienced' role playerswith complexity and detail (at the expense of individual creativity... AD&D encourageshand-holding). Proving to be the more enduring of the two game systems, AD&D is stillactively supported today, currently in its 4th Edition.

In the below listings, I've removed the hyperlinks (all ofwhich were rather superfluous, internal links anyway), and added greenhighlighting to elements that changed from the previous print. This shouldhopefully make it easier to identify which print you have.

  • First (Dec 1977)

    • Cover:

      • Lizard logo

      • Centered, red-lettered 'Advanced Dungeons &Dragons' at top, with 'TM Reg Applied For' in small red lettersunder that

      • Rough textured (like a 1970's school textbook, which in fact itwas)

    • Spine:

      • 'Advanced Dungeons & Dragons' in red lettering,but no registered trademark symbol

      • States 'Gary Gygax'

    • No ISBN anywhere

    • Endpapers and flyleaves are red

    • Pages are smooth

    • No printing number information on the copyright page

    • Catalog on last page refers to a future 'Referee's Guide' andOutdoor Geomorphs sets 2-4

    • The first print was intended to be released in Sep 1977, but due todelays at the printer, was not released until after Christmas 1977 -- possibly even Jan1978

    • Gygax has stated that this first print numbered 50,000copies

    • About the publishing of this print (the first hardback RPG manual everprinted), again from Gygax: 'It was no problem finding a printer that could do astitched binding and school-book cover material, as I wanted the AD&D volumes to be asnearly indestructible as could be managed. Later on the Blumes changed that to save anickel or two on each copy printed... as if we weren't making enough as it was. (Acaeumnote: this occurred with the Fourth Beta print). Crown Books wanted me towrite a special introductory game book exclusively for them, but that was a no-go. Simon & Schuster contacted me about book trade distribution, but they were going totake a year to set it up, so I wasn't too thrilled. Then I got a phone call fromMildred Marmur, then the VP of Sub-Rights Licensing at Random House. They flew me outto NYC the next week and were ready to begin distribution in a month's time. As theremainder of the deal I negotiated assured TSR cash flow and other great benefits, I signedmy name up there in their offices on the second day of our meetings. Having Millie asan advocate was a lot of help in cutting a great deal for TSR. Both of her sons wereD&Ders!'

4e Monster Manual 3

An 'errata sheet' wasavailable for the First print; unknown where these sheets came from (since the books were notshrinkwrapped, it is highly unlikely they came with the book purchase). Most of the erratamentioned on the sheet were corrected with the Second print, so we surmise it was released sometimebetween Dec 1977 and May 1978. More info is needed. Thanks to Michael Deaton for thescan.

AuctionCommentary

4e Monster Manual 3 Pdf

The Monster Manual, being the first AD&D hardcover, was probablyprinted in greater numbers than any other D&D book. As such, values are typically low for allbut the earliest prints. The early prints have the added benefit of rugged construction, whichhelps retain their condition.
