In a nutshell, we should have had a little more faith - lesson learned.

Um ... I'm not seeing the detail. Here's what I see:

For what it is worth, this is the last book in this format we will ever do.

Judge Dredd, like Hammers Slammers (preview on our site), will be full colour. With hindsight, yes, we should have done Babylon 5 in the same way. We didn't believe the natural decline of the licence's popularity would justify the full colour/hardback treatment but, as it turns out, it is looking like a last hurrah for the setting.

So, this totally explains why the book isn't a nifty full colour hardback. That explains the presentation.

It doesn't address the criticism of the content of the book, which - from this review and the various postings here alone - is sounding to me pretty sub-par in many respects, quite frankly.

When you've got a reviewer like C.W using language like 'This could have been a great book, but poor editing, poor formatting, poor writing, and strange rules implementations have all made it a very weak product' you would think that would be the problem you would want to address in this thread instead of explaining why the book isn't full colour ...
