Hi everyone I was wondering if anyone had knowledge relative to Unearthed Arcana printings and the dreaded bad binding curse.  I wanted to get a NM copy for my collection as my used copy has the pages falling out.  Anyone know if there are printings in the 12 runs of printings I should steer clear of?  Thanks in advance for any insight you can offer.

The earlier printings had the bad binding curse.  Look for a 6th printing or later, although you might be able to find some earlier printings that are fine too.  If you are able, check out the binding before you buy.

If you want to get into a better binding, and don't need to have an original printing, do the premium reprint.  It also includes the errata.  It will cost you a bit more to purchase, though.
