So, the idea of the TSR Initiative is to create an archive of the best
digital editions of TSR-published D&D books available on the net. The
first step of this is to see what is available out there and - as
importantly - what books have yet to be scanned. The second step is to
look at each available PDF and see how complete it is. After scouring
the net looking for every OD&D/BECMI/1E/2E D&D book published by TSR,
. and then - quite literally - going through each PDF page-by-page to
see what was missing (and, if incomplete, see if the missing bits
could be found elsewhere), the following list was produced.
Hopefully this post will serve as a guide for scanners as to what
books should be prioritized for revision / new editions.

Missing Books
--------------------------------------------------------------------
These are TSR-published D&D books that have no online/digital
equivalent.
* TSR 1035 Introduction to Advanced Dungeons & Dragons *
Details: Functionally identical to "TSR 1034 Introduction to Advanced
Dungeons and Dragons", the only difference was the box; while TSR 1034
had a 9"x12" box (similar to other AD&D box-sets), this product had a
big 13"x20" box (similar in size to those used for family
board-games). The contents were exactly the same as TSR 1034..
* TSR 1067 1991 Fantasy Collector Cards Factory Set *
Details: 750 collector cards in a grey box, released 1991
* TSR 1069 AD&D Trivia Game Box Set *
Details: A trivia board game box, released 1991, contains 600 question
cards, 10 full-color character cards, 60 full-color playing pieces, 5
divider cards, 1 rules sheet, 1 question box and a plastic bag for
playing pieces
* TSR 1167 Complete Starter Set AD&D 2nd Edition *
Details: large yellow box, similar in format and purpose to "First
Quest" or "Introduction to AD&D" box-sets. 1996 release. Contains
Players Handbook, Dungeon Master Guide, Monstrous Manual, full-color
dungeon map, six hero cards, DM screen, six plastic figures, seven
dice and "TSR 9465 Book of Lairs"
* TSR 9565 Dragonlance Fate Deck (SAGA) *
Details: An accessory for the Dragonlance SAGA system, released 1997,
includes 82-card Fate Deck, 16pp basic SAGA system rule book, 18
character cards, one of four mini-adventures, rule expansions, and
rules for the new "Dragon Wars" game using the SAGA cards. There were
four mini-adventures: "The Haunted Amulet", "the Dwarven Crown",
"Death on the Deep" and "The Duntollik Run".
* TSR 11450 Dungeons & Dragons Adventure Game Box Set (Silver
Anniversary) *
Details: A boxed set for the Fast-Play D&D game, released 1999.
Includes a 32pp rule book, a 32pp Adventure book, a 2pp DM screen, 8
full-color "character folders" and dice. Note: often incorrectly
confused with the "D&D Fast Play World of Adventure Ruined Tower" mini
adventure (which is just a part of the whole set), or "TSR 11549
Silver Anniversary - D&D Collector's Edition Box Set", which is its an
entirely separate product
* R7 - Dwarven Quest for the Rod of Seven Parts *
* R8 - Yog's Desert *
* R9 - Tinker's Canyon *
* R10 - Air Plane! *
Details: RPGA modules released by TSR as handouts at conventions but
never published (unlike the other R-series modules, which had similar
origins, these modules were never reproduced in Polyhedron magazine).
Extremely rare.

Incomplete Books
--------------------------------------------------------------------
These are books that are missing pages or components /AND/ I wasn't
able to find the missing bits elsewhere. Note that just because a book
doesn't appear in this section, you should not assume that the
available PDF is complete; I estimate that roughly half the scanned
D&D PDFs are missing at least one page but with work they can be fixed
(that's the whole goal of the TSR initiative); the books listed below,
however, are ones I /cannot/ fix.
