Which of your 3.0 Core Rulebooks is Most Worn Out?

[jaerdaph]

Which of your D&D 3e core rulebooks is most worn out, and in what order?

All three of my core rulebooks are first printings from the earliest days of 3e/d20.

My PHB is the most worn out - it's pretty beat and it's definitely about time for a 3.5 replacement.

My MM is worn but not nearly as much as the PHB.

My DMG has obviously been used, but it's still in pretty good shape.

Also, anybody have to replace any of their core rulebooks over the last 3 years sooner due to excessive use?

My phb is definately the worst off, the MM next, and then the dmg.

I don't play enough, so my books are all in great shape. There is a little tear in the PHB, and one of the pages stuck, and when I unstuck them, the writing came off (weird).

My DMG kinda looks like heck, because of the many post-its sticking out.

PHB and DMG I have two copies of because of wear, MM only have the one.

phb, but my monster manual has recently disappeared

My Player's Handbook has the most battle scars, which include a broken binding, stuck pages in the spells section, an ink stain over Use Magic Device, a pizza stain somewhere in the spells as well, a couple of torn edges in the equipment section, and a worn out cover that has survived nubbed corners, a rainstorm, and being hidden in a high school locker. The book's about to throw in the towel after a few more months.

If I get the 3.5 books, I'll baby them like nobody's daddy can. Covers, binder, the works. But that's IF I get the books. I hope everybody else's 3.5 books hold out better than the original 3.0 books did.

Cheers!

My original PHB is not in great shape, but it's not nearly as ragged as some I've seen. My DMG and MM are in pretty decent shape, I don't use them during the game very often. My second printing PHB still looks and feels pristine, even though I've been using it the past 2 years. Probably better binding, plus the fact that I'm the only one that handles it, unlike the 1st printing book...

My 3E PHB is most worn out. Its cover is on the way from separating from the inside contents, and only the inside cover pages' glue is holding it together. Just in time for 3E riveised, I say.

Without a doubt, the MM

My PHB is the most worn. And I even have a spare!
