File:Chainmail 3rd edition.jpg

Cover for Chainmail, 3rd Edition.

It appears to be one of the photocopied, post-8th printing copies from after November 1979. Notice:
 * the 1978–80 TSR logo
 * it does not list the price (7th printing copies say "$5.00")
 * the paper appears white, not gray

Fair use for Chainmail (game)
This image, Chainmail 3rd edition.jpg, is being linked here; though the picture is subject to copyright I (··gracefool |&#9786;) feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:
 * 1) it is a low resolution copy of a book cover;
 * 2) it does not limit the rights of the copyright owner (Wizards of the Coast) to sell the book in any way;
 * 3) copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the book;
 * 4) the book is basically out of date (and out of print?) as Chainmail is replaced by later miniatures wargame systems;
 * 5) the artist who made the image, Don Lowry, is significant enough to have his own Wikipedia article.
