Apart from their propensity to drop pages from the centre at the slightest provocation...

The GW hardbacks of the mid-eighties are notoriously variable in quality. If you got a good one, it will probably stil be going strong. But some of them disintegrated phenomenally quickly.

My AH Softback is still doing fine, albeit it's not be subjected to particularly hard use. But I generally use photocopies of the Players and Magic books I did a few years back from a scruffy copy of the AH deluxe boxed set I picked up cheap off eBay.

Cheers,
