Sally's Weekly Update for 10/28/11

Here's the latest update. Sorry that there are so few copies available on some titles. This sometimes happens when we receive copies so badly damaged that we can't sell them to you, and we can't replace them.
Feeling a bit wintry here!

Have a very scary Halloween.
