3) My headcanon is that Tuscon's book trade was a front for the WF. The WF/Tuscon would steal books for Tuscon and Tuscon would sell them. How else was he supposed to have "Every book under the sun?"

I alledge that Tuscon wouldn't steal "The Third Crusade" and so when Emerald asked for the book Tuscon knew that he was in deep trouble. Honestly, that scene is so confusing/nuanced its difficult to know much for certain other than Tuscon owned a bookstore and defected from the WF. But that is my theory. and mine is that either it was a regular bookstore he owned previously, or one the WF strong-armed from a racist store owner.

As for "the third Crusade" I'd assume it is something like "Mein Kamph"(hope I spelled that right) IRL, and is a political document explaining the way of thinking that drives the radical WF.

As such, asking Tucson for it is akin to saying "we know what you were, and we won't forgive you from straying from the cause".
