This is the only Holmes rulebook I've seen that was signed by Holmes himself. It's a first print (Lizard Logo, F116-R code). The image was posted by Zach Glazar (who is a member here but I don't know if he monitors the group) in a thread on the Acaeum in May 2016. It was part of a collection of an unidentified TSR employee who also had a number of LJN D&D toy prototypes. Most of the photos in the thread have disappeared (thanks, photobucket!) but luckily I saved a copy of this. https://www.acaeum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?cache=1&f=1&t=15531&c=1
That's his signature!

ReplyDeleteNow that's what I call a rarity!
ReplyDeleteNice!
ReplyDeleteChris Holmes Thanks for the confirmation! I've have two of his signed/inscribed books myself (not Holmes rulebooks) and the signature matches those too. One is a copy of Mordred that Jeff Leason just auctioned on Ebay, and another is a King Arthur book I got from one of the Billy Galaxy auctions.
