JoeNuttall wrote in Interesting Non-TSR Items Currently on eBay:The first edition was spiral bound, as can be seen in the scan Richard made of it (which is available on my website). The second edition was A5 stapled (like a fanzine) which is the version I have.
JoeNuttall wrote in Interesting Non-TSR Items Currently on eBay: Mine was retrospectively stapled - by the editor when he learned how to staple fanzines without needing to buy a long armed stapler!
Richard originally self-published The Solo Dungeon via a stencil-based duplicator in 1977, then it was published by GAMES PUBLICATIONS in 1978, and they printed a second edition in 1980. The first was spiral bound, the second digest-sized - the only other difference appears to purely be that the copyright notice is moved out onto a separate page along with a repeat of the cover illustration, presumably to move it off the inside of the cover. I don't know if there were any differences in the original '77 version (if you have a copy, please add a comment to let people know).

JoeNuttall wrote in Interesting Non-TSR Items Currently on eBay:Oh dear, I should have read what I said on the subject. To quote my own article on The Solo Dungeon on my website written by me:So the first edition by GAMES PUBLICATIONS was spiral bound, but there was an earlier self-published version. Anyone with copies who cares to share a photo and/or compare differences with the later versions?
JoeNuttall wrote in Interesting Non-TSR Items Currently on eBay:You put a folded up bedsheet down on a hard surface, place the item to be stapled on the sheet, open the stapler and position and press carefully (vertical pressure required else it slips off to one side and the staple doesn't go through). Then turn it over and bend the staples shut manually. Then lean on the open stapler. Look at the staple in your bleeding hand. Feel foolish. (The last is a one time activity, never to be repeated).
