For sale is a well-used but complete copy of the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 1st Edition Dungeon Masters Guide by Gary Gygax.

This is the classic Revised Edition — December 1979 printing (ISBN 0-935696-02-4). It includes the official errata corrections, expanded appendices, additional tables, and reference material that TSR incorporated after the very first printings. Still 100% 1st Edition AD&D — the same iconic ruleset that launched modern tabletop RPGs. Not 2nd Edition.

Key Features:
• Iconic “red devil” cover art by David C. Sutherland III (efreet battle scene)
• Classic fantasy city back cover with the large white oval text box
• Unicorn illustration on the interior title page
• Full index, combat matrices, monster lists, treasure tables, random dungeon & wilderness generation, and Gary’s legendary DM advice

Condition:
• Used / Heavily Played – This book clearly saw real tabletop campaigns over the years.
• Front and back covers show scuffs, scratches, edge wear, and some color fading typical of a 45+ year old gaming book.
• Spine is intact with visible creasing and wear.
• All pages are present and firmly bound — no missing or loose pages.
• Paper shows expected age-related yellowing and minor spotting.
• Original owner stamp inside front cover
• Binding remains solid for its age.

This is a genuine early 1st Edition DMG that was actually used at the table — perfect for collectors who want a playable copy or to complete their vintage AD&D collection. It has real “battle scars” from decades of gaming, not shelf wear.
