Wow, that’s a great find.

I have nine months to go at Brooklyn and that’s sufficient for my needs. However, for $30 I think I’m sold. Ideally I’d like to future proof my library borrowing by more than three months, but I’m also a little fearful that the out-of-state cards will disappear. I think it’s mostly costs but there’s also the element of pressure from publishers and the issue of digital rights. How long can I play chicken on this?
