Anybody can get one of those. They're as tough as a cinderbrick. Ahh...now a 2e Dungeon Master's Guide? Those were practically falling apart as they left the printing house. Rarer than hens teeth, those."Well, you can't blame post Gygaxian printing standards for everything though.....what about that print of Unearthed Arcana that fell apart at the spine about one day after it got home from the store (I've had a copy of this one, and seen many, many more since then). There was also a very shoddy printing of Oriental Adventures that I run into ocassionally (more spine problems). The only second edition book I've seen as bad as either of these is the afore mentioned Monster Mythology. That, and some of the early printings of the "Complete" series that the entire binding falls off due to crappy glue on the spine.Mike B.
