Always use protection.

My miniature AD&D Monster Manual has finally arrived (from Italy, no less) and I now own all of the "big three" AD&D rulebooks in this format.

Now the question is: How can I prevent them from getting all dinged out-of-shape if I carry them around in, say, my backpack?

I need some kind of rigid, solidly-constructed protective container for the set, but what would fit the bill?

The whole stack of three books, by the way, is about two inches wide, three inches long, and a tiny bit less than one inch "deep."

Hmm.

Lost gaming treasure!

I was searching through an old box yesterday that I haven't looked through in at least six or seven years and I found these:



Miniature AD&D rulebooks!

I bought them at a game store in San Angelo, Texas back in 2000 when they first came out. They quickly vanished from the market and are bigtime collectables now. They're unabridged and perfectly readable. Ideal for gaming on the go without a backpack full of heavy hardcovers.

Altogether, I have:

Dungeon Master's Guide
Player's Handbook
Oriental Adventures
Legends & Lore
Manual of the Planes

I completely forgot I had them and assumed that I sold them at some point. Nope!

Now I just need a mini Monster Manual...
