When is it coming out? Has it come out already and I don't know it yet? My local game store does not have any copies of the PHB and when I asked when they'd get one they said they will order when it comes out of the print.

I'm not sure I follow you. The PHB for 5th Edition came out over a year ago. There have been numerous print runs of it since then, and the most recent ones even include the one page of errata that was released for it earlier this year.

Yes I know the first edition/version PHB is out since last year. The question was indeed about the one with the errata.

Somewhat off-topic, but does anybody know how you go about getting your PHB replaced when the spine starts disintegrating?  I sent an email to WotC customer support last week, but haven't heard anything back.

If the copy of the PHB on the shelf of a store is a printing updated with the errata, it will have this printed near the bottom of the credits page:

 

This printing includes corrections to the first printing.

 

And yes, according to WotC posts, there has been at least one print run of the updated PHB, maybe more by now. So hopefully your local store uses a distributor who has already sent out all the old ones and only has the updated one in stock to send to stores.

Mt PHB (a first run printing) fell out of the binding after only about two months. I carefully removed the pages and three hole punched it and put it in a binder.

Gift receipts. Not sure where your PHB came from, but those are super great. Everyone should remember to get those if they can.

They have been sold out of all the core books for months in London (UK).

The appropriate place to contact Customer Service about this issue is here. Also, several people have noted that they have received a replacement without sending a receipt in this thread.

 

I need to do this too, as my PHB finally gave up the ghost, but I've been lazy.
