Distinctive features between printings: The 1979 shows the purple monochrome cover with art by Erol Otus.
The words "ADVANCED DUNGEONS & DRAGONS" are at the top in an old-fashioned font.
Collectors arcana: The first print of the character sheets is uncommon and it is rarely sold in collectible condition.
With most of these items, either pages are missing or some of the sheets are filled out. Shrink-wrapped items add 100% to their base value.
