Several years ago, looking around a local second hand bookshop (not far from where Earl Byrhtnoth and his thegns came to grief against the vikings in 991) I found a 1980 Runequest hardback published by ‘Reston’ for £4.95. It was in decent condition (a few repairs to its dust jacket) and so I purchased it.
Looking on Abebooks it isn’t listed, and when playing RQ in the 80s I never knew there was a hardback. Can anyone tell me anything about this book?
Rare

I haven’t seen that one before. But if you search Google for <Runequest 1980 Preston> you will find various website hosting information about that book. Apparently it is considered “rare” and even more so with the dust jacket you have mentioned. Well done. 
Cheers

Thanks

Robin,
Interesting – thank you. Someone local must have been selling off their RPG books as there were a few more obscure ones, which I also bought. I’ve now googled, and yes, the dust jacket is rare. This one has a complete jacket, but it has undergone some repair.
