If you've been meaning to pick up my Virtual Boy and/or Super NES books, NOW would be the time. They're down to a few dozen copies, and demand has slowed enough that we can't really justify a reprint. Snag one of the last few at a very tidy discount while you can: limitedrungames.com/collections/...
