The Pirates Guide to Freeport

[Keith Robinson]

I just received my copy of Green Ronin's The Pirates Guide to Freeport. I've only just started reading through it, and it looks good, but I have a question for anyone else who owns a copy.

Excluding the cover, my copy is entirely black and white, except for chapter 2, which is full color. It's just totally odd. One full color chapter. So, is it all supposed to be in color, and I just got a bum copy, or is it supposed to be all black and white, and I just got a lucky chapter... or is it supposed to be like that? It has a lot of full page art in that chapter, so it might well supposed to be that way, but it is very perculiar.

Anyway, anyone else care to shed some light?

The book is supposed to have one color chapter, and the rest in B&W. Printing a full-color book in a small print run is insanely expensive, so I don't begrudge Green Ronin one bit for bringing this book to us at a reasonable cost, rather than $15 higher and full-color.

I've seen it in other books like Midnight and Dawnforge.

I don't begrudge it at all - I just hadn't seen it before, so couldn't work out whether it was meant to be that way or not. So thanks for clearing it up
