Back in the Dawn of Time (March 1973), I got my original set of Dungeons and Dragons rules (published Nov 1972) by laboriously copying a friend's set of the 5x8-in brown booklets opened flat (two pages/sheet) on my local public library's copier, at a nickel a page. And in those days, you had to bring the pile of nickels.

The sticky sheets were then folded in half (to get two-sided) and punched.

My original set of Boot Hill rules came the same way.

They served me for some five years through high school and the start of college as GM and player until I had the wherewithal to buy a printed set.

Certainly, they were good enough to be read and used.
