Wizards of the Coast plans to do a limited reprinting of the old First Edition core books (Dungeon Master's Guide, Player's Handbook, and Monster Manual) an April 17th, 2012. The prices for each book are pretty damned steep: the DMG will cost $44.95, the PHB and MM will each cost $34.95. Now, before you immediately fire off an "aww, come on! They're just trying to cash in on reprinting the old books" like I did, know this: it's for charity. I have no idea what portion of your purchase will actually be donated, but Wizards states that the money "will help support the Gygax Memorial Fund."
HERE is the official release PDF. These will be a limited press and the cover art will be all new. The insides of each will be identical to the original 1st Edition AD&D release.
