Wow, I heard about those versions in archaeology class - but
Professor Jobs said that all known copies had been lost in the
Great Disk Crash of 2003.

You're in possession of the truly rare! Do the window backgrounds
have more of a vellum or a papyrus look? Officially the papyrus
versions were only sold in Egypt, but apparently there were
rumors of pirated copies being sold in the markets of Rome,
and an obscure passage in "Cult of Mac" has been interpreted
as meaning that one of them made it all the way to Eboracum
(modern-day York).
