Anyone have the Leatherbound D&D 3.5 Player's Handbook?

[JohnnFour]

One is on sale at my local game store. Just wondering if the binding holds up under heavy use, and if anyone has any complaints about it? Also, is it true that it has errata in it? Is the errata inline or just a section at the end?

I don't have it, but here are some threads on the topic.

It has errata, but my copy's binding split almost immediately. As it was a gift from my players, I haven't sought a replacement.

I couldn't bring myself to buy it. I have two copies of the PHB. I don't need three, even if it is fancy.

I have the 3.0 PHB, the standard 3.5 PHB and the leatherbound PHB.

One of my players had one...then he LOST it. Goof.

I have access to 3-4 copies of the 3.5 PHB at any given time, I don't really need it, myself.

I received my copy for Christmas and have used it in my two weekly games since then. The leather is certainly not holding up too well. It's already faded, especially on the back where it's been in contact with desks, gaming surfaces or other books.

However, I'm still not sad I've used it. I didn't really feel like there'd be a market for it if I hung on to mine unopened after a few years. It is nice having all the errata, and it is fun to show off. But honestly, I wouldn't buy one if that's the decision you're making.
