[QUOTE="Greg K, post: 4426710, member: 5038"] Little Raven, The Third Edition books made the NYTBS? " SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 19, 2001 WHAT: With the help of blockbuster movies like Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, an ever-growing audience is becoming interested in the fantasy genre and seeking out new Dungeons & Dragons(R) games, products and books based on legendary fantasy worlds. The Dungeons & Dragons brand is experiencing a large increase in sales and popularity, due in part to the increasing notoriety of the fantasy genre in the mainstream public. The Dungeons & Dragons game, originally released in 1974, has gone through continual evolution and growth. Now in its third edition, the Dungeons & Dragons game has been redesigned to reflect more than 10 years' worth of evolution in game design advances, providing a definitive adventure roleplaying game experience for a new generation of gamers. FAST FACTS: -- Manufactured by Wizards of the Coast Inc., a subsidiary of Hasbro Inc., the third edition of the Dungeons & Dragons (D&D(R)) Player's Handbook has appeared on several top publishing lists, including the New York Times best-seller list and USA Today's Best-Selling Books List. The Dungeons & Dragons Player's Handbook peaked at number three on Amazon.com's Yet-To-Be Published Best-Sellers list." And there is an old thread on ENWorld discussing the PHB at 128. I didn't pay attention if that was the peak or starting position. [/QUOTE]
