[QUOTE="Voneth, post: 402293, member: 1016"] First off 1.) At a 128 pages for $20, I’d ask you not to expect color, or a hard cover. In fact the cover would probably be a very flimsy soft cover, which sounds good to me. J I am not a part of this whole “hardcover” fad. Just look at what Palladium is offering for $15, you'll get an idea of the product. Sorry, after inflation, those $12 and $17 1ed. books will be closer to $17 and $22. I sense more of nostalgia and a "price freeze" from a denial of inflation ("I remember when comic books and candy cost a damn nickle! Now they are a whole damn $3 and not worth the paper they are printed on!) than any logic to those "it was cheaper!" arguments. 2.)
