The physical copy (hardcover standard) is good quality and I highly recommend it due to the historical and intrinsic value of the system that I believe it should be read by anyone who loves RPGs and D&D of any edition. I am very disappointed finding so many typos that were not present in the original. I don't know what is the process behind the print on demand process scan but at least I would expect a bit more attention from a product selling so much. An errata page available for download would be very helpful.
