This is the fourth, and hopefully last, installment of Gently Used for the summer. I made one more trip to Magus and collected some more niche titles; none of these are terribly hard to find online but it’s nice to be able to pull them off an actual shelf. Here’s what I found, in the [...]

Ok. I lied, and I’m sorry.
