I really think that a rulebook, instead of being Hardcover or Softcover Perfect Bound (current paperback GW codexes), using Wire-O binding would be awesome.

How cool would it be to have rulebooks that will lie flat on a table, on whatever page you decide to put them on? You'd want to use heavier stock paper, maybe uv coated, to have some degree of protection from Mountain Dew and Cool Ranch Doritos.



I know they did it with the new painting book... I think it should be done with all books pertaining to table top wargaming.

What do you think?

I've seen a lot of people rebind their codexes that way, but I'm not a fan. I like real books.

I really do too. The Wire-O would suck for stacking multiple books, or putting on a shelf. On the other hand, books can suck to read in bed too... it's a tossup... I'd at least like to see both options offered, sure it's another SKU, but why not?

It's a pain turning the pages, they're very easy to damage, and they're annoying to stack and shelve. I think it was an interesting/good choice for the painting guide, where in theory you'll be looking at one page for a long time, but for other stuff I wouldn't favor it.

Or you could slice off the spine and put it into a binder with the cover of the front. Probably last longer in there rather than the wire-o

I have spiral bound my V3 Flames rulebook, mainly because the pages kept failing out. Most of the time though I scan the main pages I need and stikc them on my iPad
