I have a print of AD&D module U1 Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh that has an ISBN on back cover bottom left and a product number on bottom right. It's then either a third or a fourth print. It seems to me that the font size is the same but the ISBN is printed in a bold font so it is somehow "bigger", while product number is not printed in bold font.

Acaeum page for U1 module does not mention the fact that there is one in bold and not the second but just a difference in point size. If one of you has the two prints on hand and can send pictures showing the differences on the back cover, it would be helpful.

This is the one that I have as a 3rd print in my collection. Sounds like the same one you are describing. Im not sure what the "point size" description means.

Thanks for the picture and the answer.
I have exactly the same as yours and I think like you that it is a third print.

Lucyjoyce has the same one on sale on Rpgmarkeplace but description mentions a fourth print.

Hmmm, so the 4th print has both numbers the same size, but neither (or both) are in bold print?  I was relying solely on the description here, so I am glad when someone can point out one of the few errors on this site.  I have copies of the first and second printing of U1, and then I also have the copy you mention that I have listed as 4th.  Does anyone have a copy of a 4th print, just to make sure?
