Core rule book, APG, printings and errata

[ElyasRavenwood]

I have a quick question. I know that it has probably been answered before.
What printing is the core rulebook in now the third or fourth? Is the advanced Player's Guide in it's second printing? Has the errata been incorperated into the text of the later printings? Thanks

The Core Rulebook is currently in the fourth printing, and the Bestiary, GMG, and APG are all in the second. Each reprint incorporates errata.

You can always find the list of errata files—and thus which printing is current—on the Pathfinder RPG Resource Page.

When does the 5th printing come out? :D

The 4th printing is large enough to last us a while yet.

Vic, Thank you for taking the time to answer my question. While i cant exactly claim the dog used my rule books as chew toys, ( I don't have a dog), a year and a half my core rule book is suffering from some wear and tear. It might be time to get out that nice card Paizo sent me, the one with the summoner and his Eidalon wrapped in christmas lights and a red nose, and use that little discount to replace a couple of my extremely worn rule books.

thanks

I got my core rulebook on the first day of Gen Con 2009, and got it signed by most of the Paizo staff.

Unfortunately, it's the only copy of the core rulebook I have, and as much as I wanted to stuff it in a safety deposit box, it has ended up with a fair ammount of wear over the last 17+ months.

Any idea if or when we will see a 3rd printing of the APG?

We're not going to announce new printings until they ship... but considering we only started shipping the second printing about a month ago, I wouldn't expect to see a third printing for quite some time.

Alright, so how can I distinguish between 1st and 2nd printing for the APG or see, if the core ruleobbok is the 4th printing from an online distributor? Would like to order them, but the latest prints.

From an online distributor? Email them and ask?

I don't think Amazon keeps track of this, or would check all of their warehouses for you.

Me, I'm waiting another month or two before I order another CRB so I can get a 4th printing, and probably the same for the APG.
