They're in fantastic condition, no complaints there-- however, they're early printings with the "original" cover art. The copies I used to have were later printings, with the wizard on the cover of the PHB, and the green-robed keeper on the cover of the DMG. Next time I search for them, is there a handy way to differentiate between printings? For example, do the later printings have a different ISBN number? Or is there a cut-off date when they stopped using the original cover art?
