I got my campaign workbooks. So far they haven't fallen apart :-)
I'm wondering though, why are they different than the advertised version in Dungeon 143?
The ad says 'actual size', but the ones I have are shorter and fatter (not by much). Mine is also sort of a salmon pink, whereas the ad has one that's more of a deeper red. And finally, it looks like more of a hardcover journal. I'm basing this in the indentation along the binding. It looks like other hardcover journals I have.
Is it just my imagination, or have others noticed this as well?

Originally, the book was actual size in the ad. Various issues in the printing process resulted in a book that's off by just a bit on the size front. The product image was a mock-up created months before we saw actual proofs. That's why the color is off and why the binding looks different. Thems the breaks in a world where you have to create your marketing six months before your product is actually released.
