I used an SRII hardcover every session for over five years (bought it in
early '93, put it on the shelf because of SR3 in Summer '98) and it's not
in the best condition, but it's still virtually in one piece. I think one
of two pages are loose and the cardboard strip over the spine is about
2/3rd loose on one side, but that's it. I'm not too careful with books
(though I don't throw them about either) so IMO it was a pretty good
binding as far as SR books go.
