The BX Advanced Gold Edition is designed for people who want a classic experience without a lot of the gonzo material that many people added to their 1980s games. The Gold Edition is pretty much classic 1e using the B/X rules system. The BX Advanced Gold Edition includes a number of optional rules systems, but they are fairly tame in what they do to the game. The Gold Edition includes a sample dungeon and a complete small campaign setting. The upcoming BX Advanced Adamantine Edition will take the game into new realms with optional systems for things like technology and mutations, many additional classes, spells, monsters, and treasure, and much more.
This version of the BX Advanced Gold Edition has 282 pages, includes art -- including color art for the covers and each of the nine sections in the book, and sells for $9.95. A "Pay-What-You-Want" version without art should be available in 5 to 10 days. A 20 page preview is available. This includes the table of contents, the introduction, and information on attributes, races, and two classes. You'll find the BX Advanced Gold Edition on RPGNow and DriveThruRPG:

Awesome. I was tinkering in the same direction.
