Fun to look through, amazing how many modules and other items they were selling into shops that year. Has a tear out poster in the back.

This monstrous compendiums is a motley collection of beasts that for the most part seem to be pretty generic D&D.

The sheer undertaking of this task — collating all the magic items published over 20 years of D&D and organizing them alphabetically — is simply mind-boggling.
