While everyone is certainly entitled to their opinion, and I have heard 
others on this list say the same about their books,  I myself have owned the 
rulebook (Deadlands) since it first came out and the HoE rulebook since they 
mailed me the limited edition and have used both regurlarly with nothing 
worse than normal expected wear and tear.  But, YMMV.
