You pay the publisher up front and get your books. Then you must sell them.<br /><br />The first three D&D print runs have a different layout than the later printings. Less pictures, a few differen't ilios, and some Tolkienisms that were deleted later.<br /><br />Arneson was not happy with the booklets. He was working on a revision of Gygax draft when Gygax published. <br /><br />Gygax seemed to be happier with what he poublished but did claim that they were rushed to print without a proper final edit.DHBoggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02170439175265397893noreply@blogger.com
