Individual titles as follows:
Vol. 1: Men & Magic
A very nice set of an early printing of the foundational fantasy role playing game, the popularity of which could not be restrained by the '80s Satanic Panic. The fourth printing introduced the cardboard White Box. This, the fifth printing was the last to use species names created by J.R.R. Tolkien—in 1977 the creators were hit with a cease-and-desist order from intellectual property lawyers, and the hobbits had to become halflings. That is also when an easier to read Helvetica font was used inside the booklets.
