Hey all, back again to let the fine folks of the cafe know about some items I'm letting go of that might be of interest.
Two of these items are relists from earlier auctions, but some of the others might be worth a look. For example: the Vampire Savior books could help one enjoy Iggy's thread on the game all the more; the last time I posted there were requests for a 3rd Strike guide, which is now available; and the SamSpi book includes a page on Yagyu Kachou, which I remember Ikari Loona asking about a while back.
Thanks for looking, and let me know if there are any broken links.

Added a few more today:
That's the rarer stuff, there's also some more PS2 games up as well. Maybe one more update after this and then I promise to stop spamming.

For a moment there I thought you were my cousin trying to sell my books that he stole from me. So literally it is now his. Asshole.
But VERSUS, man that was a great team of players and writers. I am kind of pondering if I should buy that SFA2 Versus STRATEGY Guide from you. In the mid-90's when people release a strategy guide, it was more of a one page full of combos that just showed consumers on the how-to. Especially, for Street Fighter, the only strategy for all magazines were "throw a fireball, and then do a Shoryuken when they jump in."
Versus broke it down to the frame animation of blocking (is it not a 1/4 of a second to block in A2? can not remember) to showing how players can properly perform combos. Depending on the character they had maybe two or three pages of combos. They were not being cheap either. Higher resolution of the pictures for combos (at the time) than all other guides and magazines. Extra artwork at higher resolution.
I even had Tekken 3 Versus Guide too. Because of Versus I learned how to play with Heihachi even more efficiently.
Versus even mentioned that they will release a monthly gamers magazine before they folded.

Do it, man! That is the best damn English-language guidebook I have ever seen. It was precise and comprehensive enough that I literally was able to study and learn about Zero 2 before even owning the game (I played it once in the arcade, wanted to get, bought the guide for its beautiful art, then got the game maybe six months later). Its ability to be so precise and technical while also being accessible and point-by-point for the beginner is just incredible...I treasure it alongside my Gamest guide, probably even more so.
