Black Book Editions, who publishes Pathfinder products in the French language, will release a very limited, collector edition of the Pathfinder RPG Core Rulebook. 500 printed copies, super-deluxe, fake leather cover with gold trim, and so on.
Question for the Paizo staff: Will we ever see a similar product in English from Paizo?
Question for the fans: If such a collector product was made available, would you purchase it?
This would be an eventual purchase, not something I'd desire soon.

If it included errata, definitely. If it didnt, probably.
Gah. I so wish I spoke French.
I would be compelled to buy this in English, but I doubt we'll see one anytime soon.
Nope. Never bought the 3.5 special additions so I doubt I'd buy a Pathfinder one.
Having the Deluxe DMG is pretty cool.
I would consider buying it.
I would buy it because it would probably not have any major printing/paging errors like my disappointing purchase of the English core book that I'm stuck with.
Too rich for my blood, leather bound is really cool, but not practical.
Plus, I still have a Bestiary to buy, not to mention any and all of the goodness that will be Pathfinder splat books.
If a deluxe edition includes something extra like bookmarks sewn in the binding or tabbed chapter pages, then I'd probably pick it up. If it's just cosmetic changes, like a fancy cover and gold-edged pages, I'm much less likely to spend the extra cash.
Actually they did announce some bookmarks added in the book.
I would almost certainly buy this. Would be a nice addition to my gaming bookshelf. Though I need to buy a bigger bookshelf as its getting pretty full.

Yeah, I'd want them to go whole hog, not cheap facade.
I'd definetly buy it. I need another copy that hasn't been crushed by my bag!

For shame...
I won't even let my wife read mine without my supervision because I know she'll bend pages and smudge ink.
No!
I did buy all 3 special versions of the 3.5 books, so now I have "nice" versions of something that no longer exists... great!
I won’t make the same mistake twice [or 4th depending how you look at it!].
Pathfinder is all new and shiny right now, but it will be replaced with PF2 in around 8-10 years so what's the point?
*snip* their system's revenue isn't based on splatbooks and rules development, but adventures and such.
Paizo is going to continue making Companion, Chronicles, Adventure Paths, Modules and the like, for sure.
The higher earners however, will be the Core Rulebook, Advanced Players Guide [1, 2, 3] Bestiary [1, 2 ,3], Splat books and eventually PF2... watch this space!

Posterity.
Remember there are guys still playing ADnD and 2e.
Don't dismiss the books so callously.
Yes I would.

This came up in another thread...I'd so buy it.
However, errata would be a must... so perhaps several years down the line when the game has had time to age.
It'd be sweet if it also included the Bestiary. One massive TOME. With the option of it being a paizo staff signed copy. True collectors material.

I would buy it... Would prefer hard leather, metal corner points, metal re-enforced binding with gilt page edges and several assorted color book-mark ribbons. Something very much like a nice spell book... But I would settle for leather and gilt page edges.
I'd buy it, but I'd think it would sell better in a couple years. I'd be far more interested when I've put some wear (but hopefully not tear!) on my current copy.
I'm curious - does the French written language economize considerably over English? Only 500 pages?

Nope, not at all. That must be an error. There is the same number of pages.

If you have a copy of PFRPG with flaws then you should get in touch with customer services.
Paizo have, in my experience, always been incredibly supportive of their customers in this regard.
Add my vote to the "HELL YEAH!!!!!" group. I have all 3 Deluxe versions of 3.5 in storage. I would go with either two volumes, the Core rule book and the Bestiary, or all in one. Either way I would sell whatever I had to to buy it. Anyone need a slightly used kidney?
I want them in bright red hard leather. I want something that stands out on my gaming shelf.
Hmm... probably not. I did not indulge myself with the 3.5 deluxe books, but I bought the deluxe version of the Vampire:The Masquerade storytellers book, the one that came with a deluxe screen in a box. So, while I´m not immune to these luxury things, I´m not too keen on those, as I loathe using them - and if you don´t use them, what´s the point to a game book?

I would buy it.
Provided it had the errata and was on quality paper - something that's going to still be around if I want to dig it out and teach the grandkids how to play a real man's "let's pretend".
I would like to add that, yes I would buy a deluxe, but only if there were going to be no more, or very few, erratas.
I'm not into "Special Edition" stuff, personally.
just show me a click to buy button.

Nah, probably not.
I'm pretty rough on my books and I'd hate to see something that nice get destroyed.I'm not much of a collector either, so I'll probably just stick to the more expendable version of the book.

As one who bought all three wotc special eds. and stored them, I am HEAVILY in the HELL YEAH category.
I am also in the real leather and bound paper/ guilded camp.
This would be a book to collect more than use , I think.
btw a RED cover would not only ROCK but can show how superior PFRPG is to 4th ed.
A game called Earthdawn did red covers and they were sweet.
In my opinion , 3.0/3.5 was heavily affectedby the Earthdawn game.
