PoD copy arrived and is amazing. The printing and images are crisp and the blacks are very deep. The scan has been cleaned up quite a bit, and the cover is really well done. My copy does have 'The Temple of Elemental Evil' printed along the spine as well. All of the maps are reproduced at the end of the book, as is the case with all PoD reprints Ive ordered. All of the maps (besides Hommlet) were one page maps to begin with, so its no big deal. Hommlet is spread across 2 pages, though thats not really a huge deal either as you can print the map out beforehand and piece the 2 pages together relatively easily if you purchase the pdf along with the PoD.
The only thing that I see that is incorrect with this copy (and it was mentioned earlier) is that pages 115 & 116 are flip flopped; i.e. 116 with no page number is just before 115 which has a page number and goes on from there correctly to 117 and on through the rest of the book.
Overall, thats not enough for me to take much of the overall rating, though truth be told this would be a 4.9 out of 5 for me. The pages being flipped like that is really no big deal at all.
