Thread Title : A rare Tome?

I've been collecting many of the dungeons and dragons rule books for many years, dispite the fact that i've never played. I write a lot in my spare time and these books help me with details that are hard to comeby, such as the weight of a certain sword, or the abilities of certain monsters.

Among my collection is a book that might be a bit rare. Its a 4th edition Monster Manual, printed in August 1979.

Can anyone tell me if this book is common amongst peoples collections or if I have a rare copy of a old book.

It probably isn't all that rare.  I have two copies myself.

It is definitely not rare.  Hundreds of thousands of these books were printed and sold throughout the early to mid-eighties.  An excellent condition AD&D 1e Monster Manual usually sells for between $4-8 on eBay or Amazon.com.  If you had a 1st printing it would be worth considerably more.

The Acaeum (http://www.acaeum.com/ddindexes/setpages/monster.html) has more details if you're interested.
