If anyone's interested in aquiring a copy of the Corgi edition of the 5th ed. rules, there's two seperate copies (that aren't extremely expensive, that is) for sale at the moment, one here in the States and another in the UK. These are the best prices I've seen for the Corgi rulebook in months (I check for such things pretty much everyday. I don't buy since I already have so many copies.). One is from Awesome Books in NY via Albris. $4.79 HEREThe other, in the UK, is on eBay. GBP 4.80 HERE

Thanks for the heads up. Do you still use these as your 'go to' books?

Yep. Really, the main reason is simply that I know it better than I do the FBI print, so I find stuff quicker. The FBI print is almost weird to me. For example, the section 2.21 The Logic of Magic is two pages of a huge 'run-on' of info. I get lost taking a glance at it. But the Corgi book, with smaller pages, things seem more...I dunno...'encapsulated' if that makes any sense. I also keep a copy of any one of the Corgi solos nearby, because I prefer the missle SR being a x,y axis chart in it's rules to the list of SRs and multipliers in the FBI print and the Corgi rulebook itself.
The only weakness of the Corgi rulebook: no index.

The only one I'm missing is Deathtrap Dungeon/Naked Doom. Had it once, but let it slip away and now it's unavailable

Have you tried to get that Corgi duo DED/Naked Doom from Flying Buffalo directly: www.flyingbuffalo.com/solo.htmThey haven't marked it off as no more copies left. If you haven't tried them, give it a shot, very inexpensive to order from FBI direct in the US. Worst case scenario, they realize they don't have anymore and tell you "sorry we just sold our last copy". I replaced a few of my worn out solos with some fresh copies from them. (I tried to replace my Labyrinth with a new copy and they found they were sold out, so its now marked as OOP on the website. Well, I can still use my old copy that's falling apart.)
