 IINM, the first edition was yeller, and had no media. 
You might be right. The first 'minix book' I bought was certainly red, 
and came with no mefia. The source code to much of the OS (kernel, 
drivers, etc) was printed in the book.

I bought a MInix installation kit seperately. It came in a 'software 
size' 3 rignt binder with a lot of 5.25" 360K floppies inside. And the 
manual pages for the standard programs, etc. IIRC that kit cost me 
somewhat over \pounds 140.00 (back in about 1992).
