In today’s episode, Quark is back to shill some more useless bathroom-library fodder, and this time he’s decided two showrunners are better than one. But this may be a case where less turns out to be more. What are the best word game rules? Which parts of the 90s are better off left behind? And why did I have to pay so much money for this? All this and more in Legends of the Ferengi, the book that’s actually an Excellent on the Quark scale.
