The binding.. it's a bloody well bound book! I've had my copy for months, and it's received a heap of use and abuse, and it's sturdy as the day I bought it. Only other RPG related hardcover book I've bought in the last 5 years that can match it is Talislanta 4th edition. It's not a huge thing, but it makes me happy. I like a durable book!

Mm. Binding.
Yes, good binding.
Surprising, I am used to the low quality found in most gaming products.

Heh.. and here I am, with the entire Book One (except the last page) coming loose a bare week after I bought it..
But other than that, the book is in fine shape.

Is that that Jack Vance / Clarke Ashton Smith based game?

Talislanta? It's a setting that's been around for ages (and several systems, its current incarnation being a rules-light one that runs pretty smoothly, very good for introducing new players to RPGs I've found). Check it out at
http://www.talislanta.com
. It's really a beautiful book unto itself, really a work of love by its creators. Beautiful art, pleasant reading, incredibly rich, detailed setting. It's much lighter in mood than I'm used to, but not frivolous or ridiculous as Glorantha's ducks or the like. (Were I stranded on a desert isle, and I had to choose 3 RPG books, it'd be one of em =P).

Man, the first printing was stitch-bound the old fashioned way. It would take a bullet.
