€33 comes to about $37.50. So, about 25% off the HC price. $30-$35 would have been more reasonable to my mind, seeing as they've already paid for the development costs and these are coming out significantly later than the HC versions. Still, I might consider buying one or two at that price point.

I'd be glad to see a change to soft cover. They come out with new codices so often, a hard cover book is almost overkill.

Buy it from a 3rd party retailer for 20% off and that $37.50 becomes a more reasonable $30

This might seriously get me buying books again, which might even get me playing. £22.50 isn't much more than I paid for the last lot, which I can probably get down to about £18 for a discounter, which makes it nearly comparable with Bolt Action.

An Update

I don't know what's happening at GW but the quite recent Craftworlds Eldar Codex - the english one specificially - was replaced with a slightly cheaper (46 EUR -> 39 EUR) softcover book. Just saw this today on the UK and german webshop:

That's a bummer. 6 month hardcovers and then softcover books?

I got the Waaagh Ghazghkull supplement in softcover two months ago and the quality is low. The pages and cover are made of cheap paper, easy to damage during transport. The book came already damaged out of the parcel from GW... The photo quality is also lacking... I'm not going to buy more of these reprinted Codex books.

39 Euros is about £25. Codexes used to average £15 before 6th edition ushered in the era of £30 hardbacks and rapidly declining sales.
