I am looking for the original boxed set of dungeons and dragons for my
husband. He has given me a few clues about it but I have been unable
to find it online anywhere. Apparently there are three books in the
set. They come in a white box. One is called "men and magic" one is
"monsters and treasure" and one is "the adventure". At least I think
that is what he said. They were from around 1976. He also gave me some
names (I guess of other boks, I am not sure) Blackmoor, Eldricht
Wizardry, and Greyhawk. If there is anything you can do to help me
locate these books for purchase I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

Dear Kipeep,

Original Dungeons & Dragons boxed set. 

Materials from the white box, Original Collectors Edition. No box.
Contains Reference Sheets. Condition: VG(-). Average wear, a few pages
have writing or highlighting. If you are a collector looking for
pristine materials, this set is probably not for you because of the
writing. The overall condition is pretty good, though, so if you just
want the materials for your own reference, and the writing doesn't
bother you, it will serve you just fine.$54.95.

Dear Kipeep,

I was not able to locate the original wood grain boxed set of dungeons
