Something I've noticed by having written up three of these now: there apparently were no standard formats for titles in the TOC. Some were all initial caps, some were not. Some had subtitles, some did not. "Sorceror" was misspelled.
Frank Mentzer and Gary Gygax had the same writing style, including reference to the reader as "Gentle Reader". Interesting.
