Sorry.Then ... by like me and don't buy the book.  Nobody forces you to buy it.Then ... by like me and don't buy the book.  Nobody forces you to buy it.Then ... by like me and don't buy the book.  Nobody forces you to buy it.Then ... by like me and don't buy the book.  Nobody forces you to buy it.I disagree with this premise entirely.  The books are not faulty.  The books come bound, usually quite well.  Most of the time the covers are intact without scratches, dents, and other blemishes.  Most of the time all the pages are there and they are in the proper order.  Most of the time there aren't blank pages.  These are the types of things WotC are obligated to repair because the product is broken.If you buy a book with faulty printed content, then shame on you for spending the money on it!  Yes, I realize that is a bit snippy, but there is a reason that I preview a book on three seperate occasions before buying it.  Normally, I only purchase books that I have already read cover to cover at least twice (usually three times over 3-4 sittings).  WotC is only obligated if the product doesn't function .. I.E. the book doesn't open, it falls apart, the pages are missing, etc.  As for errata, if you know something is broken, then fix it!  If you (or any DM) is smart enough to see that something is breaking their game, then I guarantee that they are also smart enough to fix it themselves!  The dependency that some people place on the FAQ and errata often surprises me.  Sure, if WotC issues errata it is easier, but I am not dependant upon the errata to fix something broken!  I can do it myself.By saying "HAD" and capitalizing it, I am assuming there was no choice?  I didn't buy the Spell Compendium.  I have most of the sourcebooks, too.  But I didn't see the point shelling out a bunch of money to get things I already had and deal with WotC's ideas for fixes.  By the time the spell compendium came out I had already fixed the spells that I thought were broken and moved on.  There was no "had" to buy it.  There was an "option" to buy it, and I so declined.Wonderful thing about life.  We all can choose our actions. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
