Thanks man!

It is in great shape. I didn't want post until it arrived as I feared all sorts of problems, crayon, ink, coffee, blood, dead mice etc...  But no, pristine, no smells, and virtually no staple rust which as you know plagues some of the early Chaosium box sets.

It will in any case at least do as a place-holder, until I find a copy with a lower number...  :D

Thanks all.  :D

In the last few years I have been selling more than purchasing (nappies and baby food does not buy itself...). But there is still a pile of things I am on the lookout for!

I was considering it, but it wasn't that much lower a number than mine...
