3rd Ed. 1st printing TTOP Falling to pieces

[timmer]

My copy of The Theory of Poker is literally falling to pieces.

The pages are literally falling out of the binding on the sixth reading.In fact they sta=rteed falling out on the third reading.

It is an older copy of the 3rd edition First "94" printing.

Do the newer copies have this same problem?

i think its cool when my books get all worn down, but pages falling out kinda sucks. someone had a post awhile back about how he got his copy of TOP spiral bound or something, which looked pretty cool.

I have the 5th printing of the Fourth Edition (Feb 2004) of TOP and it's been rock solid through lots of reading. Nice and tight, no signs of disintegration on the horizon.

On the other hand, my 1st printing of the First Edition of SSHE, which has seen the same amount of reading, is not looking too good. I give that book another 2 or 3 months before it falls apart. I think I may have gotten a Friday copy... the cover started separating from the spine after a week and just one reading.
