A very nice rulebook.
I am kinda worried about the binding. |

| It's got the best binding possible: it is Smyth sewn, not glued, which will normally guarantee a long life time. |

| Yes and No. In my opinion it has been well received on the Wizards Forums. |

That, too, must be of concern to WotC execs. |

I picked my copy up at GenCon. As I told Ed, Brian, and Wesley, this book is as pleasing to the eye as it is to the mind.

| I ordered mine this Saturday. Should have it in "5 to 8 workdays" (supposing I don't have to go down to the petrol-station and pick it up, in which case there's another two days of impatient wait in store for me). |
There is a rumour going around that I have found god. I think is unlikely because I have enough difficulty finding my keys, and there is empirical evidence that they exist.

Not that I know. I didn't want to say I hadn't heard a bad word when I only visit these forums. |

I received my copy today, though I ordered it just last week after this thread was started. I forgot to add the subscription beforehand, an omission on my part now fixed. I haven't had much time to look through it, though it seems promising.
I'll be honest, my first reaction was an expletive. It's just a shockingly huge book (on par with my old textbooks). Surprisingly well bound too. |

I confess, I can agree on all counts. Even knowing what the page count was, I was still amazed by the size of the tome. And yes, very well bound, but a book that size has to be well bound. Kudos to Paizo on that point. The only gaming book that I've had that comes close to that in size was TSR's old Monstrous Manual from 2E, and it was well bound too. |
Playing in the Realms since the Old Grey Box (1987)... and *still* having fun with material published before 2008, despite the NDA'd lore.
If it's comparable in power with non-magical abilities, it's not magic. |

| I'll have my copy in a day or two, myself. I'm really looking forward to getting my hands on it and 'taking 20' looking it over. I'm very excited to see how they've updated the rules! |

Apparently, I'll have to wait to see my new book. My friend that ordered it for me along with his own has fallen ill. I may have to wait a while to see it. Especially since he's supposed to head to Dragon Con. What horrible timing...  |
