Hi all; it's been a while since I posted here on these forums!!
This might be in the wrong forum, but I thought it might get the most notice here

I'm fairly sure there's some Gabriel Knight fans out there. I've played all three games (and am always hoping for that elusive fourth).
My OS is Windows 7. Recently, I thought I'd give it a shot and I popped in
Gabriel Knight: The Beast Within. I thought I might have problems with the installation, let alone game-play itself, given that it's so old and I'm trying to load it up in Windows 7.....but no problems!! I didn't have to "tweak" anything or jump through any technical hoops to get it to play! It came off without a hitch. Boy it was great playing one of the best (IMHO) adventure games of all time.
And then something came to me.....
I had remembered that at one time, Jane Jensen (the author of Gabriel Knight) had done novelizations of the first two Gabriel Knight games n book form. I thought, Heck, I'd like to try it out and read them.
And, I kinda figured these books would be a "hard-to-find" item.
And they are.
Not too far from where I live, I was able to pin one of them down in a used book store. I now have me a paperback copy of
Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers.
But, The Beast Within? That's another matter entirely....
I can't seem to find a copy of that in and retail store around me, whether new or used.
I went to Amazon.com, and also Barnes & Noble.com, and sheesh.....kinda pricey!! Here's what I found:
http://www.amazon.com/Beast-Within-Gabri...4735&sr=1-1http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Beast-Within/Jane-Jensen/e/9780451456212/?itm=1And even an e-bay listing:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Beast-Within-Gabriel...=item5d29c03156Soooooo......do any of you have any "insider" information on how to get a copy of The Beast Within in book-form without paying an arm-and-a-leg?
Any "secret, special spot" on the Internet that I'm not aware of?
