Yes, its the one with the glue, cheap, but not good binsing. I prefer
the spiral one since it can be laid out flat on the gaming table without
anything to keep it open.

Thats a pretty good point I hadn't thought of. In net epic nothing is
really "set in stone", but there is truth in that this revision is the
last of the "great" revisions. I dont see any further big changes just
additions of new units which doesn't invalidate a book, but add to it.

Also, I dont know how cheap someone can just download it, print it and
get it bound at Kinkos or something like that, so thats a consideration.
