Hello folks:
Doing some printing differences research on C2 The Ghost Tower of Inverness.
I found additional differences in the initial printings of the red color covers (1st print being considered the limited-edition green cover).

2nd print –
Page 16 credits, under art includes Greg K. Fleming.
Page 18 has a misspelled word – PORTCULLUS

3rd print –
Page 16 credits under art removes Greg K. Fleming and adds Bill Willingham
Page 18, the spelling has been corrected to PORTCULLIS
Back cover has added a line under the product list which indicates, “The designation “TM” is used to refer to other trademarks owned by TSR Hobbies, Inc.”

Question for the group – Does this match with what you have? I am trying to determine if these are simply additional printing differences or if there are additional printings.
Cheers,
Curt

One addition minor difference:
The fire giant illustration on page 14 is about 2mm lower on the page in the 2nd print vs. the 3rd print. It appears it was intentionally modified to line up with the column on the right.

Good to know.  Interested to see if your printing details are corroborated.

Mine match what you have posted above.
Great points to keep in mind for future searching.
