Well it turns out that there was an "OSRIC Players Reference" and its development has been detailed here: http://www.knights-n-knaves.com/phpbb3/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=8038
It is now out and you can get it for free at:

Speaking of the art. The artist is the editor of this edition, Steve Robertson.
I have not read it all yet. But I have flipped through it.
Again, the price is good (free).
I noticed some funky bits with the OGC deceleration, but some of that could be due with the addition OSRIC license/permission needed. (IE Claiming Chapters 4, 5 & 6 as PI when this book only goes to Chapter 3).
If you are a player of OSRIC then this is certainly a good resource.

The art for this is pretty much a perfect evocation of mid-70s D&D. Just looking at it you know exactly what you'll be getting - a great marriage of image and content.
Thanks for the shout out!
It is the text from the first 3 chapters of OSRIC (minus the GM parts of chapter 3). The other difference is the arrangement of spells and spell lists.
I probably could have deleted some of the legalese in the back, but I'm no lawyer, and I figure it wouldn't hurt anything to leave it all in there.
There are a lot of "old school Easter eggs" hidden throughout the art (some obvious, some not so obvious) for those who grew up with the old books.
My favorite easter egg was the "It didn't work" one. That made me laugh out loud for sure!
Great job.
