Just give us a listing or sampling of the monsters in the book, and whether or not it includes advertisements. That should settle the Dragon photocopying question.

The upper-left or upper-right of each page says "Dragon".

"Vol. xxx, No. xxx" indicates which issue of the Dragon contains the pages. The page numbers and advertisements/subscription information are also clearly visible.

For example, the Oculon is on page 54 of Dragon 43 (Vol. VI, No. 3).

Yup, those are definitely pages photocopied from Dragon magazine.

Sigh....
Was hoping for something else.
It looks like a loss to me.

I have had plenty of those.

I think that the collection of the photocopies into a printed format...bound in a relatively sophisticated way...makes this an artifact worth owning.

It is a relic of the Golden Age...like folk art for nerds.

Well, if nothing else, it would cost more than $30 to do this yourself now.....

Finally, everything worth how much someone wants to spend. As instance, Infernax does not worth more than 40-50$ for me. But for a lot of people, $150 is a good price (perhaps more around $100 currently). Booty and the Beasts worth far more for me, but sells for less.

Agree.... I am still trying to get one of those Booty and the Beasts...

Infernax... not so much.

Or like the original Fluffy Quest, which Tome of Treasures has listed as very rare.

It might be, but the author recently sold multiple copies for $4.99.
