As a proponent of simplicity and "less moving parts" I'm happy to go with one book, despite my multi-volume boxed set fetishism. Although I do want to do a special edition with multiple booklets and assorted extras in a box, that will probably wait until/if I have multiple hexmaps detailed and want to do a compilation version.<br /><br />@B.
