[QUOTE="Flexor the Mighty!, post: 993661, member: 1013"] I think if they just bound books with any care and effort poeple wouldn't have to treat thier books like a carton of eggs. *flips through perfectly bound copy of 1e PHB...first printing!" This book(and it's companions DMG, MM) is from the late 70's and it's been through 1000x the abuse as my 3e, GURPS 3rd, & SWD20 books and it's in much better shape. Hell I just bought the SW Hero's Guide and it's already seperating from the covers. Pathetic. I dislike hardcovers for this reason, they put the shiny hardcover on it to make it seem like it's quality work but then when it falls apart in a few months it's becuase it was "handled wrong" and not becuase it was bound like crap. Even the much maligned Palladium does much better work putting a book together that will last than do companies like White Wolf and Wizards. But those WOTC books are so shiny and se...no I can't use that term for a book. [/QUOTE]
