Having just bought this long-awaited PDF, I was disappointed to find it lacked bookmarks. I also found it lacked the front and back cover of the original hardcover. Some of the internal artwork differs from the original hardcover. I read that happened because of licensing disputes, and the same might apply to the covers.
On the other hand, this PDF also lacks the unsightly watermarks common to many PDFs sold by One Book Shelf, and it has no Document Permission restrictions either. This means a customer can add their own bookmarks and marginalia, or entire pages for that matter. I certainly hope more publishers follow this example. It makes PDFs much more useful to customers.
It remains a steal at the sale price in late December 2014, and as a long-time fan of the game, I would have paid full price for it.
