This is a tome of forbidden knowledge, a secret worth knowing. You use them to make characters, or to design adventures, and you shouldn't need to reference them very much when you're actually playing. Consume-style products find a more natural home online, where searchable databases and online tools do more for the consuming user than any paper product ever could. It's just a better medium for the idea of quick and useful information. Cherish-style products are not very interesting to me for D&D products per se. Cherish is what I do after I have been engaged, it is the effect of personal investment in a product. I don't want rarity and exclusivity to determine my game books, what I want is access. Cherish happens when I make a thing my own -- no one else gets MY campaign except the people who I play with. That's what makes it emotional to me. The product itself has little say in that.</blockquote>
