Hey all:)

Need to pull on the knowledge pool...

I have a copy of Monsters & Treasure from the one of the original sets.

was wondering how I can find out what printing it is.

Has the KG logo, cover is slightly darker than my 9th edition copy of Greyhawk.
says copyright 1974 on the cover page but no edition info.
The cover has those random striations that appear to be a faux wood grain thing.

Anyways, just wondering how to enter it in my database and didn't see much info about editions for this particular book online.

Thanks Folks:)

Ron

(Can't recall if it's possible to distinguish 6th from 7th from the textual content of M&T alone - possibly not. Need to check and compare against the various cardstocks if not, sorry... ^^)
