Re: (TFT) TFT question

That was always my interpretation as well, John, based on observing what was available in the several stores I saw the books in over the years from about 1980 to when Metagaming went out of business. At first, for some years, all the books I ever saw on shelves had yellow lettering. Later, some copies appeared with white (ITL) and Red (AW) lettering, and a little more exterior fiddletry (labelling), which looked about like the later labelling on other later Metagaming items, IIRC. I think there was a new Advanced Melee as well, with the later labelling but its title was still in Yellow, as I recall.
For (non-Advanced) Melee and Wizard, and some of the Microquests, there were even more variations.

ED,
I noticed that as well. My copies of ITL have white text and a stock number on the cover. Similarly my copies of AM and AW have Yellow and Red text, respectively, and a stock number. The copies of all three books that I am selling on the list have yellow text and no stock numbers, but all the same typos internally. I assume it is just different print runs, since there was no further editing between the versions. I imagine the yellow text, no stock number versions are the first print run, since they contain less detail (stock number).
Is anyone out there familiar enough with the inner workings of Metagaming's print runs to shed more light on this?
