</blockquote><p>I will be curious to see what the real defect rate turns out to be. In my gaming group the failure rate has been 100%, even after a replacement (it failed too). I am waiting to file my claim with Paizo once I hear the problem is fixed. I doubt I'm alone.
<p>That said, I also applaud Paizo and their customer service. It is completely top-notch and way above and beyond the norm.</p>bookrat wrote:For all the complaints of the bindings, people need to realize that Paizo is a writing company, not a printing company.
