I updated the archive entries for the PHB with Trampier cover and the PHB with Easley cover. Please check for errors or new information.

BTW we need scans for the 8th printing.

Monster Manual 5th, PHB 8th, PHB 9th all share the same product list so if the MM 5th is 1981, I'd think the others are as well.
