Well skin me and run me up the mountain....my fantasy brb is already coming apart. Anyone else?

**hungryp**

Yup, sounds about right. Even since the days of Rogue Trader GW's never been able to get bindings right.

**Warboss Imbad Ironskull**

Well my BRB isn't coming apart but some of my brand new codices/army books (as in a few months old) are having pages coming out of them and such.

**njpc**

It makes sense the sucker would fall apart. Even looking at it, the sheer size of the rule book is enormous, and does not look well made. Its the primary reason I held out to wait for Island of Blood and the little book

**Mr Mystery**

Not a problem with mine to be honest.

**Tzeentchling9**

Not really falling apart just yet, but it is kind of starting to give due to how large it is.

**kirsanth**

None of my books have issues. . .

Ditto, but I take that to be 'luck of the draw'.

Any print run is going to turn out duff copies, it's the nature of the beast. Some just have no luck in buying decent batches!

**Nick Ellingworth**

No problems with my copy but I'd swear that my local GW has been though 5 or 6 of the things as store copies.

**A Matter of Pride**

I have actually just said F it and cut out all the pages of my BRB and my codexs and put them in a 3 ring binder. Putting each page into those clear plastic sheets.

I got so tired of my books always falling apart and the edges curling up.

**oadie**

I've got 2 codices and the AoBR mini-rules for 40K and the binding is less resilient than most kids' coloring books. I'm good to my books - ALL of my books - and I fear for these more than any others, including those that are several decades old.

If they degrade any further, I'm printing out a B&W copy to go in a binder for gaming reference. The fancy color version will stay on my bookshelf for careful home use - primarily painting reference.

**bigmeklover**

most of mine have pages that are loose. although I think that it is from over reading.

always trying to figure out how to get that last bit of "dakka" out of my lists.

**jamunition**

You could try getting it spiral bound or comb bound?

Like on note books.

**Leonus**

A few months after I got it the army list fell out of my SM codex

**Waaagh_Gonads**

Mine is fine.

It is all the WHFB army books for the last 2 and a half years that have been falling apart just through occasional reading.

Hopeless.

**ssREV**

The BRB at my local GW looked horrible before the book was even officially released.

Me too.

OTOH my venerable Necron codex is still holding strong.

**Warboss Imbad Ironskull**

Yeah I don't get that? I own most of the codices/army books for the game (it's good to know they enemy and for me as much fluff as I can get) and I've kept the older versions of books like the Necrons, Daemonhunters, O&G and VC (I also own the updated versions of the 2) and they're great anf fine. But my newer books are all falling apart and losing pages. My Ogre Kingdoms book hadd all of its pages fall out of the cover in the first week (and it was only moderatly used)

Methinks this is a ploy by GW so that players have to go back and buy another book once theirs falls apart. It's all about the money these days.

**Arctik_Firangi**

Every 8th ed. BRB I've seen in a GW store (open copy) is practically falling apart. Not a real great example.

**Karon**

Its starting to a little bit, but its still in good condition.

All my 40k codices are in excellent condition, while my WHFB army books seem to be made out of tissue paper.

Really is stupid.

**Samus_aran115**

Codexii are far worse. I just bought my Guard codex and after about four days of sitting around my room, it's already missing a couple pages....wtf...

My brb is okay. Nothing's fallen out yet, so it's okay.

**Klawz**

My WH40K's index is falling out. Codexes are holding together.

**Aus-Rotten**

My IG, Space Wolves codexii, and my BRB are all spiral bound. Best decision I've ever made.

**Samus_aran115**

My friends do that. Can't you gt it done at staples and the like? They told me it was about 3 dollars or something.

**poipo32**

All my books are a ok, I'm very gentle with books.
I only play 40k though and most people have problem with WHFB books.

**Ouze**

my BRB is fine, but my necron codex is falling apart.

**Wolfun**

My codices are both fine, as is my 40k BRB. But my WFB is starting to come apart.

Yeah, I got mine done at Staples, I think the BRB set me back about 6$.
