After just two nights of reviewing the Rulebook pages 7 - 10 are falling out. Anyone else having this issue? For the kind of money one pays for this I would think you could expect it to last much longer. Really disappointed in the quality. I have ADnD manuals that are still in one piece.
WTF Manual Falling Apart!!!
This link may prove useful to you. If you already took the steps covered, and the pages still fell out, best contact FFG and check for a replacement.

For what it's worth, I have used the heck out of my books for over a year now and have had no issues with damage.
Good luck,

Ditto, thorvid. sometimes you just get a bad copy.
On my paperback, I was surprised it lasted as long as it did. Then 3 pages finally fell out.
I fixed mine with 4 cents worth of scotch tape.
Our GM had the same problem after like 2 sessions ![]()
I used the suggested fold cover first and things seem to be better for the other 3 manuals. Thanks for the thread link.
One of my books are about to lose some pages, but I think I can avoid them falling out if I'm careful.
Mine are beginning to look a bit tenuous as well, especially the GM's guide due to holding it open on the NPC pages.
I'll probably end up getting the Guides because of it. Well played FFG. Well played indeed.
I usually put soft cover roleplaying books that fell apart into plastic pockets and then into a binder. Works really well and it's really comfortable to flip through pages in a binder in my oppinion. There are a lot of binders with a plastic pocket in the front, so there I put the front cover of the book in question.
Still, I think that the books should hold together for a while. I've used my books for maybe 8 months, and they are still in one piece.
My books have been through hell and they're still in one piece. Here's how:
If you look, there's a cease that runs along the front and back cover of the book, near the spine. When you get a new book, fold that over and break the crease. What this does is keep the covers from pulling the spine away from the glue.
My books were tossed around during both demos with many people folding them and passing them around. They have survived the initial rules study, and a weekly campaign that has lasted since release. To be honest, except where I intentionally folded them back, you can't tell them from a new set. All the other books for my 5 man group (everyone has their own set) look just the same.
I have to conclude that breaking that crease is doing the job.

Im glad to see that Im not the only one to see that. When I bought my core set and looked at the books I the crease and my friend almost flipped when he saw me fold my covers. He thought I was tearing apart my books to put in binders. I explained it and my books are fine. You can buy a plastic slip bind that slide down the spine of the book wich squeezes the spine of the book to hold it together.
Oh sweet! Do you have a link for those plastic slips for the spine?
There two type I use Slide grip and the swing-lock or Latch-lock, the items are report covers you can get st print shops or office supply stores. Print shops have Slide gipe that can fit 100+ paper count and it works great for all softcover books. Most are made for letter sizes but if you get it in the middle your fine. I use the locks in two, one towards the top and one on the bottom. Now Im not saying all those who work at a print shop are slow but some times you have to explain it to them. I works easier if the printshop is in the office supply store that way you can grab a example. The thirty papper count will fit on the core books just use the plastic covers when you slide the slip grip down the spine so you dont gouge the cover(and a liitle muscle).
