It's the premise that gets me. With all of this Digital Initiative at their disposal it seems like a far more apt place to put previews of the upcoming game, but I guess that isn't the point. I never bought Dragon magazine for the advertisements or the previews. I bought it for things I could add to my game the next weekend. From what I understand these "Wizards Presents" books are going to a) give us a glimpse of what's going to be in the core books next year, and b) include commentary by the game designers explaining the changes and choices made. In the case of a) I'd really just rather wait and have the total package, not a coffee table book that I can read and flip through and never look at again. As for b) it's just not really what I'm interested in. There are plenty of folks who are, however. For me to be interested in these books they'd have to some kind of lasting game value long after the core books were released. So far they just seem like books I wouldn't mind skimming through in a bookstore and then putting back on the shelf. Not something I'd want to own.</blockquote>
