Well.. update on mine. I emailed Catalyst directly, and got a nice wonderful response, and they even sent me a replacement book. By the time it came, my original book the first half of the book the pages had been sliding out. I tried a few things from various book sites about getting some type of glue and placing them back in, but the pages came out again.
The replacement book after two readings, has stayed together. But I followed the how to open the book based on the picture shown in here in an earlier post. I am very scared to use it. I mostly am using the falling apart one.
Funny.. my 2e softcover that was beat to hell and thrown around the table back when I was a young kid, hasn't had one page fall out.. I think maybe the problem is its hardcover, and such a large book. I wonder how the softcover book is. I did see a SC book on ebay.. I wonder if it was a POD from drivethru or something.
