Best of The Dragon IV article years
Looking over my Best of collections of The Dragon, I noticed something I thought rather odd about #IV. The copyright on IV was 1986, but the most recent articles were from 83. Additionally, only 4 of the 20 articles were from '83, with 6 being from '82 and '81. I wonder why this is so? Why no articles from '84 or '85?

I don't think the Best Of Dragon collections were meant to be like annual collections of the best material, but rather the intent was to reprint editorials and articles that were both excellent and difficult to get a hold of in an evergreen format. BOD V was published a year later and likewise has few articles from later than '83.
BTW, my printing of BOD IV is (C)1985, published in May 1985. You must have a later printing. I think they kept the BOD books in print for quite a few years.
I feel foolish but looking at the cover again I was actually talking about BOD V, not IV. *sigh*
Thanks for the info!
