After reading the thread this message was in, I became curious about these authorized reprints.  I received the shipment today.....

It appears the pdf is of a first print.  Looks like the map had some yellow highlighting on it, lol.  There was a sale going on so the cost was only $8 and free shipping.  I also bought the S1-S4 reprint and A0-A4 reprint (which would be a reprint of a reprint!).

Caveat emptor.

Per a previous thread, if certain ebayers were selling this they would  expect to be fucked from a height!!
(On the other hand I am seriously considering a few of these as reading copies).

Are POD copies easy to tell from original copies?

The PoDs of the detachable cover mods are all perfect bound (there might be a couple saddle-stitched) - that's a dead giveaway. Some of the PoDs are awful scans, e.g. my Pod of D2 has a highlighted, stained and written on cover map.  

The PoDs are great for table play, to preserve your originals.  But they aren't great and hard to use (perfect binding for a shortish book).  I've bought a few but stopped buying them because the scans were bad.
