AD&D Reprints

You may already know this, but Wizards of the Coast is reprinting all three books of the first edition of Advanced Dungeons and Dragons (PG, MM, and DMG)with a special covers in order to raise money for the Gary Gygax memorial in Lake Geneva, WI.  Obviously, it is pretty great of Wizards to reprint these books, and giving some money from the sales to the memorial fund (what percentage has not been announced) is great too... but you could also buy these books used for as little as $10 on Amazon, so if you just want the books, it is probably not the best of deals.  That said, I am eager to see what they look like, and if they have "old school" art or not.

Obviously I am interested in getting a copy, since I do not have the originals, and would like to own the DMG at least.  Pity that my birthday is so far away...

I'm sure I read that they will have the original art in them.

Well, that would be great news, and I hope you are correct.
