[QUOTE="Vigwyn the Unruly, post: 2332650, member: 20345"] I have always been impressed with the physical quality of WotC's books. Their binding and paper is top-notch. In fact I own far more WotC books than books of other companies because the physical quality is so high. They just [i]feel[/i] like good books. For other publishers, I have to really, really want the content to shell out the dough. Their books often feel light and cheap.
