The softback back is substandard in its binding and glue but may hold up with careful use. This is important of course, because much of the swashbuckling genre, as the author points out, is pretty much a spirited affair. In practise, I have found that that the three editions are essentially the same in spirit is somewhat different in letter. The first edition was written for second edition GURPS, the second edition for third edition GURPS, and the third edition for third edition revised GURPS plus rules compendiums, plus extra martial arts. Nevertheless, it is still overwhelmingly the same book. At 128 pages and with a colourful cover by Don Maitz, the third edition of GURPS Swashbucklers has undergone revisions by no less than four individuals other than the attributed author.
