[QUOTE="enrious, post: 54582, member: 2126"] It's fairly easy to xerox a printed book as well. Having said that I will not dispute that it's probably easier to redistribute a pdf than a printed book - but in either case it isn't that difficult or expensive. More's the pity... [b][/b] Again, I won't dispute this statement. I simply know that for me I probably do prefer pdfs, but if I didn't have such cheap printing readily available I'd much rather spend $5-$10 more for a professionally printed copy. [b][/b] This is perhaps a nutshell of the local vs. internet commerce in every industry. [b][/b] The only thing I'd like to remark about this is that you are not limited to binders - you can get loose-leaf folders for around $.50 at any office supply company that are not rigid (therefore taking up less space) and even having a transparent cover (to show off the pretty cover page). These take up as little as one quarter the space required for a traditional 1" binder. So much the better if you have a printer capable of double sided printing. Make no mistake, I love buying a printed product such as the FRCS or Relics and Rituals but by the same token I enjoy seeing some of the lesser well-known products like Maidenheim for an inexpensive product. It means that I can enjoy a diversity of material that I wouldn't have if I looked at pdfs or printed materials exclusively. Hats off to you Derek, I have a great admiration for what retailers like you do for our hobby. ~Derek [url]www.taloncomics.com[/url] [b]Your Local Gaming Store Online![/b] [/B][/QUOTE] [/QUOTE]
