We like games with a literary basis, This is a different world from the book trade, so our stock will appear and disappear suddenly due to the mysterious gaming world.  If the item is marked "sold out" and yet is still listed here, that means we have hopes that our re-orders will arrive.  We will remove any item that looks like it will no longer be available.
