Small Hardcover

[alcyone]

We already have full sized hardcover and 5.5"x7" digest sized softcover (I think they are softcover, I don't have any).

Recently I have gotten several books in 9 1/4" x 6 1/4" hardcover, about the size of most mainstream hardcover novels. This is a really appealing form factor for me. You get the benefits of a hardcover book and a portable size. The Fate Core System comes in this size for instance. The hardcover books I've been getting from RPGNow (e.g. Covert Ops) have been 6x9, and those are perfect.

I don't plan to go buy all of my C&C books again, but I'd go back and get the core books in 6x9 hardcover. The "yearbook" sized RPGs have their place of course, but especially for rules I need to look up only occasionally, or things I want to actually sit down and read, these are great.

Amen. They're also good to have for a group if you need more than one copy for reference. I'm working on getting the $$ to get the flipbook and Bluffside in digest format.

If they can do it and keep them easy to read I'd get at least one.
