How do you like your RPG books to be released?

So as I glance at my shelf I notice that aside from my first system ever (DND 3.5) I have almost exclusively gravitated to games that you can get off the ground with single book.

Rather than players guide, a DMSs guide and a monster manual, I would rather a heavy tome like you get with Stars Without Number or Lancer, a novel sized rpg, or a even a little Zine.

I got Rifts at Gencon in 2023, mostly because the guy in the booth seemed real cool, but also for the promise that all the old splat books work with this new editions (which payed off since I have been traveling to different old media stores and have been able to find at least three older splats for under 10 dollars).

If you were to pick up 5 new rpgs over the next year or two, what release format would be best for you?
