Please please please spiral bound. It is so much nicer than regular binding. Lays open by itself, more resistant to wear, etc.

How many pages was the Dom2 manual? My copy is still reasonably fine. However, I think this one looks to be much larger, and presumably contains much more reference material - which means heavier use, which means the type of binding on the Dom2 manual wouldn't last long. The case for spiral bound looks stronger and stronger.

AND, it might make it easier to justify the rather high price tag to potential buyers (don't look at me, I have it on preorder). A quality manual, both in content and physical presentation, is a real nice thing - and rather rare these days.

134 pages. I have used it lot more during the summer, as I always had to check what spells existed in Dom2 and what did they need, and my Dom2 manual suffered from it. It is slowly coming apart. It still holds together, but I'll have to re-glue about 50 pages back to it before long. They are going to come apart soon.

Yeah, spiral bound would be nice.

Usually I dislike spiral bounding, because it is uncool
But in this case I have to agree, with the projected excessive use of the manual, it would be a good idea to improve its survivability. (By having it spiral bound)

If it really bothers folks, we can whip together a Photoshop slip cover with the name on the side to cover the spiral binding

That would be fun. One for each nation and each pretender. I want one for Pangaea and for "Lord of the Hunt"
