Agreed. Besides, it's one of the benefits members of our association receive. They get the OBR books every year, and for those young-ins in our group, we send them the Williamsport ones. You want to talk about difficulty in getting rule books? Try Williamsport's. It's easier to get gold out of Fort Knox!

Did Triumph Books ever fix the problem with their cheap perfect binding? The pages tended to come apart in the edition I had last. I always liked the Sporting News' saddle-stiched version better. Those things took a lickin' and keep on tickin'.

Plus the Sporting News version was smaller and thinner--much easier to utilize. As far as the binding of Triumph's, I never had a problem. Perhaps it was certain batches like yours.

I preferred the Sporting News editions myself. I found the text easier to read in those as well as a better binding.

Agreed. The Triumph book is too small (narrow) for my liking.
