4th Ed. Book Spine Covers

[bramadan]

Am I the only one who is bothered by the spine covers of the 4ed books.
They *almost* follow a reasonable scheme but then they throw it all out for a loop.
Starting books are PHB-blue, DMG-red and MM-green.
Quite a few following books seem to follow this pattern:
Adventurer's Vault (player's book) Blueish
Dungeon Delve, Manual of the Planes (both DM books) Reddish
Open Grave (definitively monster book) Green
Even all the "power" books make sense in purple as they are sort of in between Player and DM supplements.

But then we have Draconomicons, which are *clearly* same series as Open Grave in red, Plane Bellow, which is *clearly* supplement to MotP in, of all things, Gray which makes it same as Revenge of the Giants which if anything should have fit with Dungeon Delve.

At the same time, with adventures, they change the spine colour after the heroic tier (which I understand) but then fail to change it again after the paragon tier.

Dear WotC, I love your game, but keep in mind that bulk of your target audience suffers from at least mild OCD and be consistent with your spine colour schemes

Nope, not bothered by it in the least. I did notice it though.

 

[avin]

I'm bothered, a bit.

 

[Pseudopsyche]

I noticed this inconsistency too, and I wish the spine colors followed a coherent scheme. But I'm not losing any sleep over it.

 

[Asmor]

I wasn't bothered by it, until you pointed it out. So thanks a lot for that.

I demand WotC issue errata on the color of their book spines!

It bugged me when I first set up my 4e shelf (as opposed to my 4e pile of books) but I got over it.

They'll just change them on DDI and everyone will suddenly see them that way in RL too......

You know, I'm a bit surprised wotc didn't go for the "art approach". ie, if you put all the sells for 200X together, it forms a picture. Miss even one, though, and you don't get the full picture.

I can see I don't use enough time looking at the spine of my books.

Good idea.
