D&D - Player's Handbook AD&D 1st Ed.

The Player's Handbook is one of the original three "core" rulebooks put out by TSR. The original cover is of a large statue with gemstone eyes, of which one is being stolen by a group of adventurers. The book consists of different sections dealing with information that "anyone" can know - meaning that there is an assumption that people who just "play" the game should only read the Player's Handbook, while the Dungeon Masters can read other supplemental material so they can provide a truly surprising world for the Players.

D&D - 1st Edition

For many people, the 1st Edition is the true beginning of D&D. Known as Advanced Dungeons & Dragons, the rulebooks were hardcover and had fantastic covers and were chock full of great information and pictures that could enthrall for hours. The books began publication in December of 1977.

The first style of books, with covers that wrapped around the entire book including the spines, was limited to 5 different books. Later, in 1983, the original books were reprinted with orange spines and different cover art. Although still part of the same "Edition", this differing set of books somewhat represents a collection in and of itself. The Goblin Trove recognizes these books as 1st Edition, but will often refer to them as "1.5" (Similar to later distinctions in 2nd and 3rd Editions).
