Yes, and it was the same scan as the pdf of the 2nd printing (Jan 1978, Lizard Logo) that is floating around on the internet these day. The first three printings are much rarer in the wild (Ebay) than the later revised copies with a Wizard logo.
I see that same comment from a review on the rpgnow website: "For some reason this came with two scans, one dark and one light. Still, it was great to see what D&D was like in 1976!"
Do you still have these scans? Were they two separate files or one large file? Can you confirm the printing?
Yes, it came with two scans of the book. So glad I bought it AND backed it up as my computer did eventually crash...

It shows a thumbnail of the Wizard logo, and I thought the scan was of the Lizard logo, so perhaps I am remembering wrong.
