finally used some of my christmas "McNalley Money" to buy a book... the Communist Manifesto by Marx and Engel. oooh deep. some of what's left is going to a book i ordered about the work of Alphonse Mucha. i had ordered a much more expensive one but after four months they finally told definitively (as there was some question) that it is out of print and that they could not procure a copy from anywhere within they're system. the new one is much smaller and half the price. the rest of the money will probably end up being spend on something by either gorey, kerouac, or chomsky (though there is a book of collected writings by subcommandante marcos that looks very interesting.)
in other book news i picked up a copy of on the road on friday while shopping with rie at westgate books. 10$ (that's half price.) well done.
