[QUOTE="mostrojoe, post: 2012086, member: 3091"] About this comment, sorry, but I have to strongly disagree about the whole question of the pricing. While I partly agree with the question about the typos (that HAS to be considered in a review anyway), I have to say that the price/quality report is important when I have to spend my money. Ever if the gaming content is really good, when I go in a hobby store to spend my supposedly hard-earned money, I would like to invest in a product that worth that expense. And for a product, to be worthwhile of an expense, there must be in the product not only good ideas but several good ideas, can you take the point? If (for an extreme exemple that I hope will render the idea) a ten page book is sold for 20$ I'm not going to buy it, as if there will be great ideas inside. I will not buy it because 20$ for only ten pages will not worth the investiment. Sure, I'm not saying that I will buy a 100-page book for the same price only because it has 100 pages. Those 100 pages have to be full of good material. I'm only saying that some good ideas can still disappoint me because they were not so stunning good (and reading the review it seems our case) or only because they were really good but were all in all too much few if I take a glance at the price of the book. So, a review take in account the point of view of a customer, or try to do so, and in the point of view of the customer there's the economic side too. I understand the entusisthic effort of the publisher, I understand the lack of budget and all. But what can I say? These are the laws of the market... I customer myself cannot do anything about them, but for sure I will not spend my money for a book that contains nothing really new or that is too small for that pricing. Sorry. [/QUOTE]
