Field Guide to the Little People

I found this book recently at a library sale. It's an encyclopedia of "little people" with a European focus, the author is German. The blog linked below has more pics from the interior. It was first published in 1977, same year as Holmes Basic and the Monster Manual. And it's still in print, though with different illustrations.

Cool Teacher, Sad Story:

"Early 1980s. As part of a Gifted Education Program at my grade school. Our teacher used Holmes Basic D&D to teach us teamwork and critical thinking. Sadly, I think she later got fired for that (it was at the zenith of the Satanic Panic era)."

Ebay auction for a copy of Holmes' FRPG book, signed with a message to Robert Weinberg, editor/author.

Ebay auction for a copy of Holmes' FRPG book, signed with a message to Robert Weinberg, editor/author. It's out of my price range, $100 min bid. No pic of the inscription, but the auction states that it reads:

"To Bob Weinberg from one of his Loyal customers, with all best Wishes, John Eric Holmes".

Here's the Wiki page for Robert Weinberg:

Looks like in the 70s he edited several horror compilations, published a zine called Pulp about pulp magazines, and wrote a book about Weird Tales magazine in 1977.
