From the Bookshelf: The World of RWBY

An oversized book jutting out from the manga shelves at the area bookstore got my attention; taking it down from beside copies of the RWBY manga I’d plugged through before, I sorted out from its cover it was an “official companion” to that computer-animated series. Flipping through the guide turned up a proper explanation of the different terms used for the show’s superpowers, something I’d hoped to find in a young adult novel I’d also plugged through; at that moment I did begin to ponder buying the book. As a hardcover it was a pricy volume, though, so I decided to wait a while for some special discount points on my bookstore card to become available for a limited time; returning to the store then revealed its only copy of the book had sold already. It took driving to the chain’s next outpost to find several more copies and buy one of them.
( After all of that... )
