Oh wow, for the first time in years I think I spotted something the rest of you didn't!

Anyone see anything odd about this:

That occurred to me -- it's difficult to tell from the pictures. Anyone have a UK B1 to check if the inside cover is a replication of the outside?

Yes, that's just the module with no cover. Unfortunately this is not a mystical white cover B1.

What is the mystical white cover story?

Pre-Production (1978):

B1 & B2

The depiction wasn't actually the UK version though. The cover was different, and could have been white, but maybe not. Hard to say if this was ever produced or just a mock-up.

I think Foul thought this might be a new printing that hadn't been discovered previously. It still happens, but rarely anymore.

Damnit. I had plans to swoop this up and re-sell it to stratochamp for an obscene amount. Maybe I'll still do that... he probably hasn't seen this thread.

LOL. That wouldn't be very nice.

Can confirm against my copy. It's just the booklet.

Well, at least grodog's on-board with this True First print idea. We may be a minority of believers, but our voices will be heard.

I'd say they're 100% mock-ups. I used to work in pre-press in the late '80s-early '90s. They look exactly like stuff we would have cranked out, and we were a bit behind the times.
