Everquest Role Playing Game

[Pielorinho]

My PhB started falling apart pretty quickly, too, and it doesn't see rough use. My 1E books, OTOH, lasted just about forever, until I lost them about eight years ago. I've seen a lot more 1E books in used bookstores than 2E books -- my guess is because the 1E books are bound so much better.

My customer service story:
Last year, I bought about $40 worth of dice from BR.Snasis games. They were for my brother's birthday; I ordered them in time to get them, but over and over and over BR.Snasis forgot to send them. Finally, after two months, I told them either to have them shipped the next day, or to cancel my order.

They shipped them the next day, and sent me the invoice by mail. Under price, the invoice said, "Free, due to poor customer service."

I've still not figured out whether that counts as good or bad customer service.

Regarding Bindings

Am I the only one who had bad 1E books?

I went through two copies of Oriental Adventures due to bad, bad bindings. My Unearthed Arcana book suffered from similar binding problems too.

My older borther's stuff like the DMG and first printing of Deities and Demigods both survived rather well.

well the orange spine books (OA, UA, MotP, the second cover DMH,PHB,MM, etc) were of notoriously bad quality..apparently Gary had quite a fight with the Blumes over switching to a lesser quality binding at the time...

The original bindings were incredible....

Nope, my 1st- ed. Oriental Adventures book was in tatters. Also my Unearthed Arcana likewise had pages falling out. Basically these 2 tomes were just hardcover folders housing various pages of the book, in no particular order.

I would like to point out, however, my disappointment with the Scarred Lands Campaign Sourcebook that, after reading through it for one day(!), the pages got separated from the little cloth thingie inside the cover when I flattened out the book so I could make out the map better on the inside front cover (because you have to keep referencing it when you read the descriptions of the locales).

It hasn't fallen apart yet or anything, but I'm sure after enough hard use, it will.
