I am currently in Des Moines for work, and going back home tomorrow. Instead of taking myself out to the nice-but-pricey restaurant I had been considering, I went to Half-Price Books in West Des Moines to see what they might have.
I found THIS: 
…for THIS price:
Made of win, I tell you. Definitely.
HOLY SHIT I OWNED THAT EXACT BOOK.
And that's probably what I paid for it.
I hate you now.
Great find! I bought a later printing on eBay this year and probably paid almost 10 times that much!
After a friend of mine found a fairly complete set of OD&D supplements as well as other rare stuff, I decided to keep a closer watch on what could be found at the local Half Price Bookstore.
I had seen similar prices and so was surprised and pleased to be able to obtain it for the price I did.
I might still have the perfect bound version of that. I haven't seen it for awhile though. I love the black hobbits.
I've been delving at HPB for 15 years.
