ahhh...things bought never to be used again. before parting with yr dollars, i suggest emailing me first to confirm that the item you want on this page hasn't been sold--i remove and post items as soon as they come in/as soon as they've been sold, but i work on a first come first serve basis, and bychance i receive two envelopes the same day with the same order, the earliest postmark gets it. play it fair.

chivalry by maurice keen [history book]
$10
mint condition (buying books from an obsessive-compulsive girl is the way to go!), i've barely even looked at this book. i bought it last minute for a report, but never got around to using it as a source so i really can't rate the substance of this book--ny times book review gave it good words, and it seemed pretty interesting (and probably would have been even more had i not been frantic at 1 in the morning the night before said paper was due when i first skimmed it). contact me for the shipping price.

ecstasy club by douglas rushkoff [fiction book/315 pages]
$6
condition: great
"When the young, hypertalented idealists who call themselves Ecstasy Club find an abandoned piano factory in Oakland, they make it the focus of a round-the-clock rave the likes of which the Bay Area has never seen before. They also make the factory a base camp in their search for a method of time travel that combines computer wizardry, esoteric spirituality, and mind-altering substances. The Club's mesmeric leader, Duncan, and our resourceful narrator, Zach, actually manage to "break time" online, only to discover that an unsettling array of characters has beat them to it. Government agents, corporate saboteurs, religious zealots, and even the local cops are suddenly out to get the Club. As they battle an ingeniously conceived conspiracy (think Thomas Pynchon meets the X-Files), Zach battles his own growing affection for Duncan's lover, Lauren, and begins to wonder whether enlightenment is all it's cracked up to be."-the publisher
