I agree 100%, My AD&D manuals are covered in pencil notes, heck in some of them I have colored in the illustrations. The old AD&D books felt like old tomes, the glossy paper books make feel like I am looking thru the Sear's & Roebuck catalogT. Foster wrote:The glossy paper did suck, because it meant you could no longer write notes in the margins of the books (and my 1E rulebooks have tons of notes in the margins) -- you had to press to hard (and risk ripping the paper) to get pencil to show up and ink smurged too easily (plus I don't want my marginal notes in ink, because I want to be able to erase or change them).
When did TSR start going down hill?

I want to hear what you did in the dungeon, not the voting booth. Politics and rules minutia both bore me in my opinion.
