Does this count as being a foreign edition?
As far as I can tell, there's no difference in the actual book - eg copyright page, product code and isbn on the back are all the same as regular copies.
The only difference is the Jedko sticker on the back cover.
I've also seen an 8th print DMG with the sticker on the back - worth adding as a foreign edition?

Hi

Not a foreign edition, it is a US domestic edition with a sticker applied

Pretty much a defect, not a separate printing

I love vintage price tags on old RPG products, particularly if they identify the store that sold it. It provides more history than the ordinary unadorned item. This is neat in the same way, since it's a vintage distribution sticker demonstrating the provenance. It could worth more than a normal DSG to the right collector. Thanks for sharing the photo.

Jedko was the official TSR game distributor in Australia as well as the occasional manufacturer of some games..  a sticker added doesn't count;) Only if "printed in Australia" would count;)

Saying that the Colouring in books have printed in Australia.. Which I don't think people have said before...

Brette:)
