  1. Hmmm. But it was released at last year’s BookExpo. Still, a nice selling point for an excellent book.

  2. There are so many, many NBM books that I’d like to read but they’re too expensive. I don’t need a hardcover for a 48 page book. This isn’t a rant against War Fix, since I haven’t even looked it up, but I really wish NBM could package and market their great books differently.
