TSR #1101 -- D&D Set 1: BASIC RULES

The red boxed-set for level 1-3 players, complete with the Players Manual and Dungeon Masters Rulebook.

DUNGEONS & DRAGONS 
BASIC SET 

Enter a fantastic world of sword & sorcery adventures! In Dungeons & Dragons you become a mighty wizard, a fearless hero, a stout dwarf, a clever halfling or any one of a dozen other adventurers ready to explore the mazes and labyrinths of a vast and deep dungeon - or perhaps trek through uncharted wilderness - in search of the fabulous treasures and magic which are hidden there. But this wealth is not easily gained, for terrible guardians lurk nearby; and such monsters as orcs, ogres, trolls, giants, dragons, and even worse must be defeated in order to gain their hoarded treasure.

Dungeons & Dragons is the original game of fantasy role playing. It is a truly unique experience, for each participant assumes a game persona who goes from adventure to adventure, growing more powerful and capable with each successful expedition. Unlike any other game you have ever played before, Dungeons & Dragons will allow you to completely unleash your imagination and creativity, while still posing interesting game situations and endless challenges. 

The 1979 D&D Basic Set is Edition 4+ (the logo in the bottom left hand corner is a wizard - first appearance of the wizard on a D&D Basic Set).

TSR #1071 -- Dungeons & Dragons Rules Cyclopedia

302 page hardbound reference tome for basic Dungeons & Dragons from 1991.

The idea behind this tome is to encompass all of the rules from the Basic, Expert, Companion, and Masters boxed sets in one easy-to-access reference guide, since those boxed sets were out of print at the point that this book was released.
