[QUOTE="Flexor the Mighty!, post: 885875, member: 1013"] I almost bought the Arms and Equipment Guide despite my misgivings about it, things like a Saddle to Ride a Gelatinous Cube really throw my stupid-o-meter through the roof. But I said it has some artifacts that may be cool. So I look at both copies on the shelf at the store. Both were really warped. The font covers were very curved on both of them. Needless to say I didn't buy a copy. Savage Species didn't look nearly as bad though, but they only hand one copy so I don't know if the rest were that bad. I hate buying hardcover books that are shoddily put together. The Tome of Horrors from NG really peeved me as I had to buy some bookbinding glue and fix it myself after the copy I got when I returned the first one fell apart right away.. But it's in great shape now so I'm not too mad at them, and they offered to replace all defective copies at thier cost. If you are going to raise prices to do hardcover then at least bind the damn thing right! A lot of books shouldn't be hardcover as it is, A&EG is a prime example. But maybe this is what we get in the age of disposable books and new editions ever few years. If the books last for 25 years with great bindings like my 1e AD&D books have then where do they make thier money? :rolleyes: My copies of Heros Unlimited are softcover and are both in great shape after 10+ years. If I could get the D&D core books in that kind of softcover package I'd pass the hardcovers up in a second. [/QUOTE]
