Afternoon, everyone!

Can anyone confirm the printing differences for Bard Games (the Compleat series) - are the white books the first printings, the red/green/blue books are second printings?

Specifically, is the Compleat Adventurer book with the green cover the second printing from 1985?  The white cover of the same book printed in 1982/1983?

Thanks!

Yes, the green cover is the later print.  There are 2 earlier versions - side stapled and prestige format versions with the white covers.

Mars do you have any pics of the side stapled versions? I've never seen one and can't find info on TOT of RPGeek
