This might go away on its own and is a standard issue across the run. The scratch and dent copies will have scuffs and\/or little flecks of ink missing off the cover, and that'll probably be all.    -Tim H.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a page-for-page ink wash drawing of the AD\u0026amp;D Player's Handbook. Every darned page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo be clear: This is not a useful item. You cannot use this to play Advanced Dungeons \u0026amp; Dragons. It is a...Mystery? An homage? A deep study of one of the key pieces of literature that defined me?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe interior is artful, reserved, nice. Each page is the ghost from my past that I instantly recognize even in their in-between state. I have six years of art school in me and I think I got it just right. The cover is garish, obnoxious, awesome: \"I want this to look like a 1970s wizard van crossed with those garish stickers that I forget the name of... Yeah, like that but more.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat... What am I actually getting?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou are getting a roughly 8.5\" x 11.5\" hardback book with 128 interior printed pages. It has endpapers that match the original book. The cover was printed with a process that layers ink over foil which creates something akin to the colored foil prints that fascinated me when I was a child.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/scl\/fi\/bogekz479780bjagnbk4j\/sadfasdfasdf.pdf?rlkey=7vk0meo0qz716kfby5yvpvd6q\u0026amp;dl=0\" aria-describedby=\"a11y-external-message\"\u003eHere is a PDF\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003eof the interior. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it a game?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. It is a drawing of a game.
