[QUOTE="thundershot, post: 857689, member: 628"] Believe me, I'm not trying to complain just for the sake of complaining. I'm only expressing my opinion strongly because I care strongly for my Bastion books. When deciding between two books, if one is color and the other isn't, color will always win over. Even if the regular books weren't color, I wish the Oathbound books would be, because they're put together so wonderfully, and the colors truly add to the final package. And to stop on the third book of a continuing series... it just loses its "oomph" to me, is all. Glossy books tend to stay open easier when laying in bed reading, and the printing and art are so much crisper. I suppose the decision has already been made with no going back, so I guess my words really don't mean much. As for the cost issue. Dropping 2 dollars really isn't worth losing color. I understand the cost for the company, but surely there'd be another way to do it. Also, comparing other books of similar size (at least the ones I buy), Mongoose books are 128 pages at 20 dollars, and FFG's 25 dollar books are 176 pages and HARDCOVER. Granted, they don't utilize as much space as Bastion, but still... I feel I'm getting my money's worth. Bastion's books were only 96 pages for 25 bucks, but to me, it was well worth it for the color. So 96 pages for 23 dollars in b&w? To me, it seems to deter people like me who bought into the color, but won't bring in the people who balked at the 25 dollar price tag before, since to most people, 2 dollars really isn't a big deal. Yes, I will buy the next Oathbound book, and I hope I eat my words. If it's not what I perceive as a good value, then I doubt I'd buy the next one, but fortunately, I can still enjoy Oathbound with the two or three books I'll have. Thanks for listening, Chris Dickinson (who is really really really trying to not sound like he's whining...) [/QUOTE]
