My book came with a little ding on a corner, but otherwise was in pretty good shape.  Having bought only the limited edition from GG, I've now ordered the regular book cheaper from a reseller.

I did the same. I ordered the "limited edition" directly from Goodman to support them and picked up the regular cover at the local spot.

I don't really understand why there is a lot of disgruntled people on here in regards to the availability of unofficial pdfs that someone scanned.  Just about anything today that is in print will eventually make its way into pdf format. Now I'm not condoning people doing it, but its not going to affect what I purchase or don't purchase in print. I think someone said that some of Bill Barsh's Pacesetter modules are floating around in pdf but I don't hold that against him and it doesn't stop me from continuing to purchase his stuff. Hell, didn't someone on here scan in Castle Zagyg for his own private use?

Just my 2 cents.

As for the above, re: pirating .... just, wow. Classy.

Anyhow, it looks like the book might be going into a second printing, with errata and an index.

Ash, understood. My apologies.

Just as a follow on to my previous note.

GG got back to me VERY quickly and apologised, and have sent me  a pdf to be going along with. Later that day, a single copy of the book turned up at my door, rather than the amount I was expecting!!

I have contacted GG to see if they'll sort it (and I feel confident they will at the moment)

In the meantime - Dave I've PM'd you - FWIW the book is a beast and definitely worth having!!! (And it was undamaged in shipping!!)

GG have once again replied very quickly with an apology for their oversight - and on the weekend too!!

They have promised to put it right, so I'm a happy bunny at the moment.

Though my initial post was a moan, so far I can't complain by the way GG have acted to make matters better - and that surely shows decent customer service.


(and I'm glad I bought it as well, it looks like great stuff from a brief skim - I'll probably never manage to plough through the whole book, but at least I can bludgeon would be burglars to death with it - it certainly is a monstrous book )

Well my hardcovers came damaged as well, Goodman just gave me a refund so I am happy with that.

From over on the goodman forums

The second printing has been sent to the printer, and it addresses everything identified here (including an index). When I get a chance I will type out answers to the various open questions in this thread, as corrected in the second printing.

The first printing will likely sell out (from our warehouse) in the next 7-14 days. Get it while you can!

And Doug is working on a kickass new cover for the second alternate cover edition...

new one arrived yesterday--mint shape--thanks GG

Just got my gold foil embossed beauty today from NKG... pristine shape and I must say an impressive tome to say the least! hope the beauty is more than skin deep
