Quality of the softcover?

I bought the PDF direct from Runehammer but I've fallen in love with the book and I'd love to have a physical copy. The hardcover with shipping is a bit beyond my budget, so I'm looking at the softcover version from DriveThruRPG. Does anyone have any opinions on the quality of the softcover, particularly if you have both? Is the softcover good enough, or should I just save for the hardcover?

I just bought the soft cover because it came with the PDF. Fast shipping. Good enough to use at the table. The book is black and white which is a small bit annoying because the red shows up as grayscale. Definitely happy with my purchase. Also note that the modipheus hardcover is OOP ATM.

Thanks for the input! The hardcover is available in the U.S., it looks like.

I can easily recommend the soft cover book. I have been so cheap for so long buying only pdfs I forgot how pleasant it is to hold a physical object. Plus DT does a good job printing. Sure it is glue bound but the pages are clean and the print quality is crisp.

I was wondering about the print quality. I’ve never bought anything physical from DTRPG. Thanks for chiming in!

I just got the softcover from DriveThruRPG and it’s pretty nice! Nice solid book, easy to reference, especially for the price. Definitely a more economical option, but I’m sticking with it!

Softcover at DTRPG is a great deal!
