Discussion: Fluke Pick-up Reviews

A few weeks ago Adam and Shawn of the Dollar Bin attended Fluke in Athens, GA.  While there they picked up many books from many creators.  They then read them all and recorded reviews to end cap the last 15 minutes of the Fluke wrap up show.  However, there was so much to say about all the great stuff that the reviews spawned their own show that would one day grow into what you hear here.
