[QUOTE="R_J_K75, post: 8195621, member: 6921294"] I'm assuming POD isn't the same quality as the original hardcopy books, I've never bought a POD book. I didn't buy them either but from what I understand the 1e and 2e and maybe even 3e reprint core books that came out about 10 years ago were scanned and of pretty poor quality. I wonder if somethings from the original printing process from all those old pre WotC books was lost along the way and they just cant do new print run? Just speculating. I remember years ago when WotC started offering old 2E and older books in .pdf in the early 2000s they put out an open call asking if people were willing to submit copies of their books to be scanned, with the understanding that they'd be destroyed in the process. I'd suspect that there is at least some demand for older print books to warrant at least a minimal print run. I think most aren't willing to pay inflated prices on the secondary market for used books. [/QUOTE]
