You wont waste $30 on something you wont use. Reviews also tend to come out before months, usually within a few weeks. Paizo's AP's biggest problems are their structure, which is usually evident quickly. Its less SKU's they have to manage. Remember how each book sells less than the one before it? Look at your local gaming store. Odds are they are stuck with a bunch of later books in multiple AP's they cant offload. This is a win for them too. Their costs are more balanced in publishing a single book rather than estimating how many of the later volumes to produce, given they sell worse than the first. Paizo still has their subscriptions, which make them more on each sale at full price than a sale to a distributor (paying around 40% or so). Its my understanding that a single 220 page hardback book is cheaper to produce than three 70 page softcovers. Anyone in publishing please correct me if I'm wrong. That's my biggest hope! That and ending filler in each monthly volume. You could cut out about 1/3 of any given AP and it would be an improvement.</blockquote>
