If you are bidding on this book STOP!
Just after it was first listed; I sent a few questions to the seller, which were swiftly responded to and the question/response is even posted to the listing.
READ THEM!
This book is a 3rd print and is missing several pages, yet bids are at $25 with 13 bids so far.... :roll:

I wonder if the name on the front means anything of importance? Just seems a little different from the usual "property of" type of scribbles.

It appears to be the autograph of SSI/Andre, an umber hulk whose modelling career peaked in the late 1980s.

Wasn't SSI a company that made some D&D related computer games? Or am I misremembering?

Aha! Even if we could confirm a connection, I don't know if it would be that cool, but at least I'm not totally crazy, so that's nice.

well stranger things have happened

look around for names who worked at SSI in the 80's - might provide something and then you have a link

I wonder if perhaps they are confusing the product with TSR's "Classic Warfare".

The description seems to fit that product *exactly*. Perhaps it is also some other publishers ripoff of TSR's "Classic Warfare".

There was an AndrÃ© Vrignaud that worked at SSI on Dark Sun games, for example:

Edit - this is in 90's of course w/ SSI - not sure why killjoy32 said 80's, these books weren't published till 1989, right?

Only 2 hours left but I also found this interesting. So I dug out my old SSI Gold Box Books only to discover they quit listing the game credits after Curse of Azure Bonds. Wikipedia (I know it's a wiki reference) lists AndrÃ© Vrignaud as a Game Tester on Pools of Darkness (1991) also. Kind of interesting
