I believe I have shared this story before, but it never hurts to re-share.
For me, it was the Winter of 1979. It was "quiet reading" time at school and I had already read everything in our school's small library on science and my new fascination, Mythology. So instead of picking up "D'Aulaires' Book of Greek Myths" for the 100th time, I borrowed a friend's book that also covered all the same monsters and creatures.
The book was the AD&D Monster Manual.
The rest is history. I tried to figure out to play on my own, made up a bunch of stuff, and then finally got a copy of the Holmes Basic book. A poorly Xeroxed copy to be exact. Until I got my hands on the Moldvay Basic set this was how I tried to play D&D.
