jasonw1239 wrote:Not sure. The only thing mentioned in any of the postings by Dennis is that EO is being published by Arc Dream.I don't have any Arc Dream products so I cannot offer an opinion on their quality. http://www.arcdream.com/
No. The book will be printed and bound by the same company that did WILD TALENTS (which, I'm happy to note, had no such problems).Cheers,-Dennis

Allan, as a follow up I asked that question to Dennis on his blog and got the following response: Quote: No. The book will be printed and bound by the same company that did WILD TALENTS (which, I'm happy to note, had no such problems).

jasonw1239 wrote:Ok, this is a note from me in an attempt to be "fair & balanced" to Pagan Publishing. (Also commentary on two online stores)I received another copy of the new DG this morning that I had ordered from the Arkham Bazaar website.My initial observation was that it was just shoved in a tight fitting bubble wrap envelope and not boxed like the copy that came in from FRP Games.Three of the four corners of the book are showing bumping damage incurred during transit, but the book itself still has the cover attached to its innards.Opening the cover carefully, I did hear the ominous light crunching sounds of a new book that will soon part with its cover.As reluctant as I am to do so, before using this in game play I think that I shall have to tape the insides of the covers along the spine. My overall opinion of the binding job is that it looks pretty but by trying to save money getting them printed in China they ended up with an inferior product.The FRP shipment came in a sturdy carboard box with the book surrounded (but not tightly packed) with foam peanuts. I believe that while this method may have preserved the outward appearance and prevented bumping of the corners, there was sufficient room during transit for the book to work loose from the cover.It might be interesting for Pagan to track the number of claims for damaged books based on the shipping method (bubble wrap or box).Note: I will be cross posting this particular message over to a thread about the new DG problems at Yog-Sothoth.com

I think your method is the best one, Jason....if you are buying a copy for personal use, just use some heavy tape on the interior cover. I guess I'm just going to keep my original book, now that I've seen the new one. Interesting to see how many of these will end up on the secondary market with the covers practically detached....Mike B.
