Play Freebook
As part of our quest to (somewhat) de-clutter our life, as well as display our embarassing "literary" tastes both past and present, Mez and I are getting rid of several dozen books. Originally, I was going to trade them to the local bookseller for credit, but then I would be getting books in return, and though it would be at about a 1:4 ratio, it goes against the spirit of getting rid of things. So I offer them to you, my internet friends and acquaintances, on a first-come first-serve basis for the low low price of free. Unless you live out of state though, then you will have to pay shipping. Two weeks after the posting of this list, all unclaimed books will be donated to the library or given to needy children for use as kindling and food.

* - OK, so Marvel Comics' imprint Epic started reproducing Katsuhiro Otomo's manga opus Akira in color for American audiences. Each monthly issue was 48 ot 64 pages long. After a couple years of this, they started being re-reprinted (again by Epic) in a collected form that included 3 or 4 of the U.S. issues. The monthly issues stopped, because Marvel lost the rights or Otomo was retooling the ending or interest faded since the movie had been out for a couple years, I don't know. Soon after, the collections stopped, just shy of an actual fucking ending and I was left in a lurch for years, until I read a roommate's phonebook-sized black and white collection (either 5 or 6... whichever the last one was) a couple years ago. My point is, if you take these off my hands, you aren't getting the complete story, but you are getting most of it in pretty pretty color. And English. Read it and then buy the last black and white collection at your local mega-bookstore, or cut them up and make a big collage. Whatever.
