Delving into AD&D, The 1st edition Player's Handbook in PDF

Yup! The PDF for the Advanced Dungeons and Dragons Player's Handbook is now available at RPGNow. While it does have the reprint cover it has the remastered searchable text and the file size clocks in a 5.3 meg. I still have the version I bought off of Paizo and it was a series of scanned images at 23 meg. So the smaller size is appreciated.

While Wizards doesn't allow page extraction it does allow you to copy text and graphics out of the book.

This is absolutely fantastic. Now if they would just set it up for print on demand!

Just native page extraction. There are a ton of third party tools that can accomplish that easily.

By any chance do they include a full image of Trampier's cover art? A good copy of that would be amazing.
