They aren't exactly thin like the old TSR modules, and being perfectbound, they aren't a bunch of booklets in a cardstock folder, either.Second, most everything will be POD. Aside from Big Bang, I have a nasty habit of being a publisher of experimental products. One of my experiments is showing that POD can be a successful business model by publishing every print product via POD. Aside from one publisher, none of them provides the option to tap books for notebook storage.Third, the tapping press required for drilling books for binders costs $1700. And on top of that would be the added expense of not being able to drop ship books straight from the printer.Admittedly, the reason for taking Big Bang straight to PDF to begin with was the option to stick it in a binder, allowing consumers to organize the various volumes as they saw fit. Group them by alphabetical order, type of weapon, manufacturer, nation of use, year/era of manufacture/use, etc. as you see fit, without the need to flip through multiple books. I have toyed around with the idea of at least having custom binders done up, but that was rather cost prohibitive.Incidentally, the first Big Bang book that will see print will be Gun Opera, a sort of side book that presents a drop-in damage system designed to drastically reduce the time it takes to resolve combat in most games. I'll be finishing the last bits of work on that tonight.</blockquote>
