am I the only one who's core set did not come with the rules reference book?

Mine also did not.

It's available as a PDF online.

(No, you're not the only one)

Did anyone get one? or is the PDF the standard method of delivery?

Only available as pdf.

They announced this from the start I believe. My understanding is they want it to be a living document.

Has anyone seen/found a release where we can have it printed by a third-party?
