[QUOTE="CBJesse, post: 1858642, member: 40089"]Hi Mark, I have a copy of the leather bound 4th edition as well as the 3rd, so I may be able to shed a little light. But first a quick word about the deluxe, the term "leather binding" should be used lightly for this book. In this case, the deluxe is only $30 more than the standard, which is not usually the case, so the binding, is low quality imitation leather and the book itself is not very rare. The picture quality of the deluxe 4th edition is far inferior to that of the 3rd edition. Now whether the deluxe editions pictures are better than the standard 4th, I cant say, but I don't believe there is a difference. Either way the 4th's plates are not very good. If available, you will find the 3rd edition better in many ways to the 4th. In fact, I sold my standard 4th edition after I obtained the 3rd, becuase I never used it anyone. Later, I got a copy of the deluxe 4th, party becuase I am a book nut and partly, becuase I wanted to have access to a 4th should I need to check on a quote, answer a question on the forum, or for the 3 new die marriages listed, which could be found online anyway. In other words, you will not regret buying the 3rd! I payed $100 and am very happy, I'd probably pay $150 if I had to. It is much more compact, has better paper quality, and fewer errors. Either way you will want to print out updated rarity ratings, found here, [url]http://www.busthalfprices.com/cbrr.php[/url], as both editions are either editions do not have the most recent ratings. By the way if anyone happens upon a deluxe 3rd, I'd love to hear about it. ;) Sorry for the ramble, Jesse[/QUOTE]
