Chaosium RuneQuest RPG (1st Ed) FN+ Original Rulebook in Great Condition

Description: This is a First Edition Runequest RPG Rulebook from 1978. It is in FN+ condition. My name is inscribed on inside front cover. There are NO other markings or writing in the book, a real rarity as this Rulebook was a work in progress, so to speak, and revisions were ongoing as game progressed. There are 4 pages with wrinkling. I included a photo of the worst page. This book is in really great condition as it was my back-up copy so it was not used for day-to-day gaming, merely a reference copy. Staples are tight, clean and all pages attached. Truly a great vintage RPG piece. I was in Greg Stafford’s play-testing group from the early days of the company in Berkeley CA. This is documented in the two pages of errata that was distributed to early members (included in purchase). I have attempted to price this at fair value, considering the condition, rarity and provenance (belonging to an early member of Greg’s gaming group). I will entertain ALL reasonable offers! See pictures for actual condition. I use high-quality close-up photos so you can see exactly what you are getting. You will receive the book(s) pictured. I do not use stock photos.
