But I agree some are not so resilient (Games Workshop forex).

After having several MRQ books fall apart on me, I'd be quite happy to pay a higher price for a sturdy BRP core book. If they did a leather bound one, like that special edition CoC book.... dear me, my inner Biblomaniac is acting up again.

I definitely want a hardback. I love the fact that nearly all the new WFRP books are hardback, it makes them nearly impossible for me to resist

Was it glued or bound/stiched?

These were glued books. From their new printing facility I understand.

I'm always a bit sceptical about glued books. But they were sturdy you say?

I just realized... are you talking about the Mongoose books or the CoC special edition? The mongoose ones were glued of course and fell apart quickly. I never snagged a Copy of the Leather CoC book so I couldn't tell you if it were glued or stitched. I suspect it was stitched, but I won't know till I snag one off of E-bay.

Call of Cthulhu, a bit unclear there yeah. Stitched books last forever!

Bottom line: What's the most you'd pay for a Edition One with a sturdy hardcover?

Would this be bound in plain leather or "special" leather?
