A quaint market stand with the purpose of being the "last resort" for buying enchanted books, though is no longer being restocked.
How to get there
The shop is located in Mistral Valley at the Yellow 2 Nexus. After entering the Nexus, walk forward out of the building, and then turn left at the park. The stand is located in the small market place next to the spleef arena.
Reasoning
The purpose of The Last Stand was to (almost) always be in stock, but how was that to be done? It's because the books were a bit expensive, being a bit under twice the average market price. However, this didn't stop plenty of sales being made, despite the poor advertising efforts for the shop. This raises the question about supply and demand. If other shops had a supply that was being sold so quickly, while there definitely still is demand for books, then doesn't it mean the price is too low? Or at least that the price could be raised? In fact, wouldn't that mean that the prices in my shop were the reasonable prices? Anyways, at the time there were also a few books that aren't sold anywhere else on the server as far as I knew.
