Right, & the difference of course in when various people use the
word "books" is that we have the novels & then we have the for lack
of a better term "harder" sources (Tech Manual, Okudapedia, etc.)
Usually when somebody says "the books ain't canon," they're usually
talking about the novels -- if the other person is thinking the
other kind, then all of a sudden it gets to be Mike Tyson time.

lets that one out.
