Even the compendium will be perfectbound, even if it is the size of a phone book... Heh, there's a sales pitch... I'll offer the first lethal weapon about guns.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> The other options were too expensive. The tapped and shrinkwrapped ready-for-binders POD version would cost 50% more to produce than perfectbound, and custom binders would have cost $12 each to manufacture.A tip for preserving monstrous compendiums - use locking o-rings and the binders made for them. Overall, the binders are more expensive, but the rings don't have those biting, clamping seams in them like regular binders and damaged rings can be replaced. However, when put away for any significant length of time, the binders need to be hedl shut with heavy rubber bands, since the rings have a level of unifrom swaying play that allows the pages to protrude up to an inch out the top or bottom at any given time. Rubber bands tend to stop that unless someone tosses the binder across the room.Same tip works well for any printed PDF as well. I have a number of them that I printed cardstock covers for (you can buy a ream of cardstock from most office supply stores for $5-8), and I just pop some small o-rings on them without the binder. Works pretty well.</blockquote>
