AD&D 1st Edition Premium Books Coming in April

We haven’t seen an official announcement just yet, but there’s currently a product page and PDF overview available on Wizards of the Coast’s website indicating that “premium reprints” of the three core Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 1st Edition rulebooks (Player’s Handbook, Dungeon Master’s Guide, and Monster Manual) are going to be released on April 17th for $34.95, $44.95, and $34.95, respectively. Word is:

‘¢ These premium versions of the original AD&D rulebooks by Gary Gygax make ideal additions to any game collector’s bookshelf or the perfect gift for the nostalgic D&D player.
‘¢ Each book has been lovingly reprinted with the original art and content, but features an attractive new cover design commemorating this re-release of the AD&D core rules.
‘¢ Available in limited quantities for a short time only, these are sure to be collectible.
‘¢ This is a hobby channel exclusive in North America. That means that players and collectors will be looking to you to pick up their copies.

I might have to pick these up for the collector aspect only, though I suspect all of my original well-taken-care-of AD&D books are worth more to future collectors than these will be.
