    Personally I prefer the "classic" books made back in "the day"
    Especially Ken Uston's "Score! Beating the top 30 video games"

    Yes, and I'd like to eventually aquire all of them and at the new price, I'd go broke. I thought perhaps some of you guys had already read them and might want to part with them.

    I'd also like the older books which are out of print, but I figured there'd be no way in hell any of you guys would part with them.

    Super Mario Adventure books

    Rolenta on these very boards is none other than Leonard Herman himself, plus it might be cheaper going through his website than through Amazon or anything.

    Also, try PM'ing CX2K he had stacks of ZAP! a few months ago and he gave me a good deal on mine.
