Couldn't find the old thread, so I figured I would put this up here.  I ordered the lower quality, non-glossy ($7.99) version and it just cam in.  Less than a week turnaround.  It has a glossy cardstock cover and the pages are glued. I'm not going to take it apart to see if it's stapled or stitched, but there are two blank pages at the end, so it looks like they used a fourteen page folio. High quality paper, even though I went with the lower end option. Matte paper, not gloss of semigloss comparable to ye olde Red Box books. No excess margins. The margin art goes to the edge of the paper.  All in all, very nice.  Let me know if you have questions.

No problem.  I'm more than happy to answer questions about it.  It'd actually be pretty cool, IMO, if WotC did something similar with a UA compendium.

Since the UA material is playtest material, it should be updated eventually with official material; that's when it will most likely get printed versions.

Wait, is this a official product? It looks great!

Beats printing it at the office and ramming a staple in...

I bet the people clamouring for print products will still complain this doesn't count.

I just checkd, and for those curious, the Murder in Baldur's Gate campaign guide uses better, glossy paper in a single folio that's about twice the size of this.  There is no cover or binding, however.  It's just a single 32 leaf folio staple bound in the middle.  So for eight bucks you get quality print paper, gloss card cover, and glue binding.  Not too bad, on a print-to-order basis.
