My custom printed book arrived today from Lulu. VERY pleased with this. I think it's one of my favorite printed books that I now own; it's so well done. The first page originally had the text, "Dedicated to 40 years of Adventures and Gamers, both Past and Present" on it along with some blurb about "fan-made policy" and ownership, etc. under the picture but I decided to scrap all that for some personal customization. I added a quote from Gary that I found fitting along with his likeness from the episode of Futurama, instead; everything else is left as is.
I went with a matte finish on the cover instead of glossy and even though it's hard to tell in the lighting of the pictures, the paper is cream colored instead of white. I'll have to try and get some better images in some actual sunlight on another day.
$18 to print the book, another $5-6 for shipping, so for $25, I have a Rules Cyclopedia for B/X. Most likely I'll be picking up another copy as a backup.

That's just gawdamned cool! Makes me want to jump into a B/X campaign. You should think about restarting the B/X Roll20 you had going on a while back.
