I know there were some text changes, even a font change, between the 4th and 5th prints, and many more between the 5th and 6th and later prints (eliminating Tolkien.) My question is was there text changes in the first four prints other than:

Catalog page,
Print identification, and
Printing company

IIRC, the errata @ http://www.acaeum.com/library/errata_orig.html was incorporated into the later printings. Someone else would have to confirm that, though.

There's also some discussion of the art/map changes on Fin's OD&D board @ http://odd74.proboards76.com/v45index.c ... thread=208

Also, do you mean just the three books sans supplements? If not, then there was at least one textual change from 1st print Eldritch Wizardry, though that might be rightfully classified as errata.

Those who can, don't. Those who should not, do.

Just the three little books. I am aware of the changes between the 4th and 5th print, but I would like to know about those between the 3rd and 4th, 2nd and 3rd or 1st and 2nd, if any. (Other than the correction sheet.)
