8 spells per level except 0th, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. 1 spell for each school past 3rd. That's it.

Everyone else gets only ~5-6 spells per level.

Cut it down. Cut it down. Shove those extra items spells in its own book.

BECMI had 12 wizard and 8 cleric per level (druid got all cleric plus 4 unique druid per level).

You replace them with more important stuff

In the PHB
More subclasses
More subraces species
More feats
More backgrounds
More equipment

in the DMG
Monster creation rules
Spells creation and expectations rules
Subclass create rules
Advice on How to DM for each Class
Variant rules
Epic play rules

I crossed out the parts I couldn't care less about in the DMG and decided I'd rather have 20 species over subraces (half of them would just be elves anyways)

You should take a look at Adventure League modules. You dont have to be an AL member to use them.

Are they on the shelf at my FLGS for me to flip through before I decide to buy or not?

If no, not interested.

Great song, but I don't buy things until I've seen them in person.

I also prefer to support local businesses when there's a choice.

I'm guessing you don't support any small publishers who only sell online or via PDF.

Times change, my dude. Small publishers still deserve your support even if the economics of print don't work.

Not for lanefan they don’t. Blessings upon his old heart.

Correct. I also don't support kickstarters or the like.

You are missing out on a goldmine of great OSR material, but you do you.
