No, they just fell apart, but my DMG, PH, and DaD books are still in great
condition.

My 1st Ed DMG (revised edition with the keymaster, not the original
with the demon) is held together with aging beige masking tape. Being
carried around in the 'game bag' (backpack) from session to session
took its toll on it. Fortuantely, I was able to find a copy in much
better condition that I can display on the shelf.

Similarly, my 2nd Edition rulebooks are held together with black duck
tape (complete with hand-written titles on the spine). I have
'display' copies for those too. The battered working copies stay in
the bag, always ready for the next session ;-)

Indestructible, those books were not. But they definitely withstood a
lot of abuse over the years.

The most pristine hardbound rulebook is 4th Edition. I can't imagine
why that may be. ;-P
