The holes are 8mm in diameter. This sample contains an extra page 8.1-2 reverse punched, for a total of 128 pages.
One of the great ideas in fantasy role-playing.

Even though this example has no price on the cover, the product list places it as following the print above. A price guide from 1982 lists Thieves' Guild as $11.95, and so the $9.95 cover price had to be removed for later printings. Furthermore, the page count has dropped by two. The Gamemaster's map and legend for The Street of the Silk Veils, which is present in the earlier print, is missing here. It is unknown whether or not just this sample is missing the page or it was a production change.

I have the 2nd scan TG#1 though it along with loose TG#2-4 are in the red binder. It does however have the The Street of the Silk Veils sheet (map one side, legend the other)
Included are the order blanks and cat in my binder (146 loose sheets, so I assume I'm missing about 4 from the combined sets along with TG#2-4 front and rear cover sheets)
((#4 in binder is another set separate from the one posted earlier))
