[QUOTE="drnuncheon, post: 121915, member: 96"] Ideally, hardcovers should be the books that you are going to use a lot - constantly opening, paging through, referring to, transporting, etc. My GURPS main book, for example, had its binding completely disintegrate. If I buy a main rulebook these days, I always go for hardcover if its an option. Size is also a consideration - larger books become increasingly fragile when bound softcover. I've got some larger perfect-bound gaming books and they are the ones that tend to lose pages. 176 pages, though, is in one of those grey areas - it's either a fat softbound or a slim hardback. For that size, at that price...I think that some of the other posters are right, it will turn off casual browsers. I'll be asking myself if the books are $5 better than, say the FFG stuff (similar page count, hardcover, $25, excellent books), so you guys will have a lot to live up to. That said, it's great to see some cross-genre products coming out, and I will be taking a look at Cities especially. J [/QUOTE]
