That would make sense.1987 saw the completion of the CM line of modules, which might have stirred market interest in the Companion Rules boxed set. There are some excellent adventures in that product line.

You can always print out a new one legally: Rules CyclopediaYou'll pry my Rules Cyclopedia out of my cold dead hands.
