Wizards of the Coast will begin selling reproductions of the original AD&D rulebooks on April 17th, 2012.
From Wizards purchase materials: "To help honor the memory and work of Gary Gygax, creator of Dungeons & Dragons, purchases of this book will help support the Gygax Memorial Fund -- established to immortalize the "father of roleplaying games" with a memorial statue in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin."
The nitty gritties:
- Dungeon Master's Guide, Players Handbook, and Monster Manual to be printed.
- Each book has been reprinted with the original art and content, but with new cover design.
- Limited quantities, short time only.
- (queue ominous music) NORTH AMERICA ONLY.
A sneak peek at the order page indicates the DMG at 240 pages, PH at 112, MM at 128. 8.5 x 11.
It remains to be seen if the title "A Paladin in Hell" will be visible at the bottom of the image on page 23 of the Player's Handbook.
