Very happy with the PoD version of the Core rulebook. The paper and binding are slightly thicker than the original print version making the book almost a half centimeter thicker. While the colours are slightly muted when compared to earlier print runs, this combined with a matte finish on the pages (instead of glossy) increases the readability for me. My only niggling complaint is that while the typography and interior artwork are crisply rendered, the cover art is pixelated as if they used a poorly compressed image -- a minor issue overall. Hoping Night's Dark Masters and an errata'd Career Compendium are around the corner!
