We got the books.  AE screwed up and sent me the 1E PH, when I ordered 2E DMG & 2e PH.  That was a little confusing, and shaped my distaste for Gygax's writing style.  We got it straightened out and got my proper 2E PH, despite my first PC being a 1E fighter/thief initially.  That main group is still playing, and I am going back to game with them and MY local group is going with (1500 mile roadtrip).</blockquote>
