About five or so years ago a company by the name of Twenty First Century Games re-issued a dozen or so out of print material from TSR. The oddity was that they were sized down, to a miniature size. I have been curious how small they really are, but have been unable to find any information on them at all. I was hoping a stop at Candlekeep would yield something? I recently got my hand on the Menzoberranzan box set, but wasn't very happy about the condition it arrived in. Naturally I started searching for another copy, but the only thing I could find was the reprint of Menzoberranzan by Twenty First Century Games. I am tempted to buy it, but not knowing how much smaller it is than the original box set makes me cautious.

And pretty much illegible without a magnifying glass, IIRC. This is a novelty, not a good substitute game product.

I remember those... The dimensions are, as I recall, what Eric said, save for the thickness.
I further seem to recall that it was all first edition hardcovers that they redid as dinky softcovers, and they cost $5. More than once I considered buying one, but I never did.
As for buying older material, I always direct people to eBay. Some of the other scribes have other sources they rely on, but I generally go with eBay, and I've had very few problems with my acquisitions there. |
