One thing I like about buying used and OP is quite a few times people sell stuff with things they left in the book or markings that are interesting to look at - kind of like an insight into someone's campaign or such.  I've seen stuff written in margins, spell sheets and other things (I got a copy of the Fiend Folio with the RPGA questionnaire in the back filled out).

Anyway, I just picked up copies of the 1st printing 2E PHB and DMG and in the PHB I found this map.  Just a rough marker-type map but interesting nonetheless.  Here's a photo of it (it's on a huge piece of newsprint, too big to fit in my scanner - click on the thumbnail for the full size):

Here's a link to a version with much better resolution.  You can actually read the place names on this one:

Also, here's a blog post I did on the map:

Being a buyer and seller, I have run into some interesting things inside books/collections... but something pretty weird came into my possession recently....

Inside of a manual was the schedule of operations for a hospital... with patient/doctor names, times and procedures...

everything from appendectomy to bronchoscopy to laser cone cervix (whatever that is)

The weirdest thing I have ever found is some original photographs of a relatively young Rowan Atkinson!!!

Are you referring to the potential fallout from HIPPA requirements or just privacy in general?

Both, in addition to just plain being decent.  No benefit for that information to be out there.

If the civilian population ever found out what we plan to do, it would cause a mass panic. Better to eliminate all witnesses now. The Mind Control Implant program must proceed as scheduled!
