Dragon Magazine ~ Dungeon Magazine BROWSE MY DRAGON MAGAZINES CURRENTLY IN STOCK   Best of Dragon Magazine, Vol 1
From the Introduction to the Revised Edition: "This might more properly be called Volume 1.1 in our series of anthologies, because it's not quite the same as the editions of Volume 1 that have preceded it. We took out the advertising that appeared in the original Collector's Edition and all of the subsequent printings, because the prices, the products, and sometimes even the companies have long since gone out of date. We plugged new artwork into some of the old advertising space, and we compressed the book so that it's eight pages thinner than it used be."

Box is classic software-style, with a thin paperboard case covering an inner corrugated flip box. Inside is little other than a double jewel case containing 5 CD-ROMs. The proprietary search function is lousy and dated. The good news is that the Dragon issues are all separate PDFs... nicely bookmarked, and can be manipulated easily as such. It also contains the issues from the Strategic Review. -Wayne Features: 1999 ... TSR 11448 ... ISBN 0786914483  Dragontales
