[QUOTE="Festivus, post: 5261587, member: 34532"] Sitting in their warehouse or sitting in the distribution chain... little difference. If the distributors say "Hey, we aren't going to order any more PHB1 books because I have 1000 sitting on the shelves here" is the same net effect. In fact, I'd argue that one of the posts linked there makes it seem that is the case. The distributor telling the FLGS "Hey, you better order these because they are out of print now" is exactly what I would say to a FLGS if I wanted to move product. PHB1 is well established by now, it's not like there is going to be a mad rush for additional copies. My FLGS has one sitting in the used book section still unsold after 3 months... and that's got a steep discount attached. I suspect that the rules compendium will take it's place... being less expensive, shorter turn around times on production and smaller print runs. It's a way to be more nimble and not take as much risk. [/QUOTE]
