[QUOTE="Orius, post: 4135782, member: 8863"] The reprints were just that, reprints. Probably no more different than the original 1e hardcovers and the later Easley hardcovers. I can't really say for sure because I have a late printing of the original 2e PHB (the one with the guys on the horses), and the revised 2e DMG (the one with the ogres instead of the wizard and dragon). The only difference was minor stuff like errata, also a reference in the DMG originally pointing new player to the Basic game was changed to the 2e intro set that was out at the time. Anyway, the originals had a smaller font and triple columns, the reprints had a larger font and double columns. I don't know how much that contributed to page count, but it probably added some. Plus I think there were more full color art pieces, and full page pieces as well. The reprints were formatted just like the PO books, there was that header at the top of the pages like the PO books, and that took up more space than the headers used in the early 2e books (hardcovers and splats). There's also that page they put at the beginning of each chapter, there's no intro page in each chapter like that in the original PHB. [/QUOTE]
