I meant on average. It's very, very rare to have more than a rule book
per player in a group. Usually once you hit a couple of rule books in a
club, someone decides not to bother buying one as they can use or borrow
someone else's. In all my years of gaming, including roleplaying, it was
rare to have more than 1 rule book per 2 players.

For the record, I have one copy of all the GZG rule books, and the
Earthforce sourcebook, except for SG2. That I have two copies; my main
copy is beat up and I wanted two sets of chits.
