I often find myself holding a pad, or char sheet, a pencil and flipping through my book at the same time. At first I thought I was smudging something on my pages, after I kept seeing more and more smudges pop up, I flipped to a page an rubbed a line of text. Sure enough the text smudged with barely any pressure. I have all of the past edition handbooks, all are in great shape...and smudgeless. I am wondering what these will look like after that many years. Trying to figure out if its just my copy so I can exchange them

And there are far worse things than this happening to the books, too. But there are others that have had no problems. So, it seems common, but not the rule. Mine are not too great but my friend's seem nearly flawless in construction, for example.

NP And I feel your pain. I read a lot and all of my books appear new. I never damage any and take great pains to keep them in as good condition as possible. With my 4e stuff it seems I've lost the battle before even engaging. Oh well. Hopefully they'll hold up. And here's hoping yours are better than mine.
