just like my phb reproduction, the quality and value are beyond phenomenal. I opened it up to look at it with my wife and her first words where "you can definitely tell this wasn't printed last century." at first I laughed but then realized my original was made last century and truly how for our ability to produce such quality material on the demand of a single person has really changed the market forthe better.

now I'll start with I do not only own an original 1e players handbook, Istarted playing dnd 2014/15 with 1e while in high-school. everything is not just recreated but done perfectly. when it came in I pulled out my original I picked up on bay for $5 all those years ago. obviously with modern materials and practices this is far better quality the binding, the paper, and everything has been upgraded but still captures the feel of the original.

I purchased the print on demand version, it's definitely an impressive reprint. I've never personally held or seen an original but I'mvery much happy with my purchase. I would definitely recommend this toanyone wanting to either play gamma world or someone wanting to add some sci-fi to their table. definitely two big thumbs-up, 5 stars, or whatever measure you want to take as a unit for success.
