Databases are really nice to have but I've always been the type of person who likes to be able to hold in my hands write in the margins, play with my rainbow assortment of highlighters (also the printed page is just easier on the eyes). I've got some John Watson opening books and was going to pick up a copy of MCO several months ago but then noticed that the new 15th edition was going to be coming out. I've yet to find any reviews in the usual places and the ones on amazon seem pretty disparaging. Probably will add it to my library no matter what, but was just hoping to get a some feedback from the chess.com aficionados.
