I bought my books shrinkwrapped from my FLGS and they were in perfect condition. Not a flaw in them. Overall, I'm really impressed with the quality of the books. The paper is a nice heavyweight semi-glossy white and the black ink is vivid and crisp. I just hope it's not the same black ink they use in the 4e books which has a tendancy to smudge when it gets the least bit damp. The gold on the edging is a nice touch but is thin and won't stand up to much real world use. I should say, however, that these books will certainly last a long time even with regular use. Considering that my originals have lasted 25 years, I expect to playing with these books at the table for a long time to come.
Very happy, and I can't wait to get my 3.5 reprints this week. Now if only WotC would reprint the 2e books I'd be in gamer heaven.
