"Well obviously it was technically sound, but in a bid race where style was everything, the colourful Sydney bid books (and other bid material such as summary binder books or even this: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Sydney-2000-Olympic-Games-Bid-Presentation-Book-/181115813059?pt=AU_Summer_Winter_Games_Memorabilia&amp;hash=item2a2b57fcc3 Sydney 2000 presentation book) simply had the WOW factor, in which even without opening the books just makes you want to open the bid documents (which were essentially wrapped like a present ) without even knowing the contents. \nCheap and thin paper for Manchester 2000? Reminds me of Annecy 2018, you could tell that those books used cheaper than text book grade paper, perhaps just one step or 2 ahead of Magazine quality paper. Showed the cheapness of that bid. \n"
