Has anybody noticed the poor quality of the 40k Codex books?

Kindda odd how the SM codex seems to be having the almost exact same problems all around. My brothers dex I mentioned earlier has the same pages falling out in the back as well.......I SMELL A CONSPIRACY!!

Indeed, price increase and bad quality,
something that should rule out each other.

Binding on my Tau codex fell apart. ><

My ork codex is starting loosen up and pages are starting to separate from the binding. I have had for over a year though.

Mine are all fine, DA, SM and IG. But if you folks are having problems with pages falling out or want to be able to flip through the pages easier go to a copy shop and you can have them spiril bound your codex

Luckily my codices have held up well. I'm used to the film peeling from the covers of my old Rifts RPG's so I tend to treat the covers very gently. I would say that if I bought a book from anywhere that started to fall apart after a few days or a week I would return it for an exchange or a refund. No reason not to do such with GW. If they see enough of a cost increase in replaced books maybe they'll step up their quality.

I miss how the books had a phrase to identify them on the spine like:

"and they shall know no fear"
"pray they don't take you alive" or just
"ere we go! were go!"

Winner.
My CSM codex is worn out, but mostly just from my tears.
