free cookbooks and ted nelson

[jfb]

Mollie Katzen, The Enchanted Broccoli Forest. Followup to The Moosewood Cookbook, which I'm keeping. Entertaining and tasty.
Anna Thomas, The Vegetarian Epicure. Probably also good, I haven't used it for a long while.
Marlis Weber, The Single Vegetarian. As a loner, I like the focus on small dishes, but it's a little too healthy for me.
Jean Hewitt, The New York Times Natural Foods Cookbook. Beats me. This is the only one with meat dishes.
Manju Shivraj Singh, The Spice Box. Vegetarian Indian cookbook.

I'm also giving away Theodor Holm Nelson's Literary Machines 90.1, the book about his hypothetical hypertext system Xanadu. Judging from Half.com and Amazon listings, this is probably a collector's item, but I can't find a listing for this particular edition, and I just don't have the patience. And anyway, I bought it used for $4.95. I'm making an attempt to sell my copy of his Computer Lib/Dream Machines, but if you make an impassioned plea for it you could probably have that too. Don't know if there actually is anyone in my reading public from this particular segment of geekdom.

oh man, Ted Nelson, please!

(and you thought I wasn't on LJ any more!)

Welcome back, I think....

I'll send you Literary Machines and keep you in mind if the other one doesn't get bought.

[localcharacter.livejournal.com]

I'm not really back, I just lurk a bit. And I happened to catch your post at just the right time!

Oh, hey, I'll take the Katzen. (And the Hewitt, I guess. I like meat.)

[jfb.livejournal.com]

I'm going to give rutemple the broccoli forest and send the Hewitt book with your other stuff. (It's small.)

The Spice Box sounds good to me. Also the Thomas, maybe? Heck, why not.

[jfb.livejournal.com]

Why not indeed!

My copy of Enchanted Brocolli Forest went away some time ago (to an ex, which is okay) but I sure do miss it. I would also love and adore to spend time with Manju Singh's Spice Box.
Home from Minneapolis; could arrange to pick up from you; want some fancy chocolate and/or some meyer lemon preserves as a thank you?

My email's not working, but: I'm thinking about going to a show in SF tonight. If you'll be around this afternoon (or maybe evening), I could drop off your stuff on the way. (I've been meaning to arrange this, I'm just, you know, busy, and unable to commit to a schedule.)

I've refused all previous offers of compensation, but man, fancy chocolate, how could I say no? The preserves sound good too, but realistically I'm pretty sure I wouldn't use them and they'd just, you know, stay preserved.

I'm working at home today, and am around this afternoon and evening.
Need the new address in Redwood City? (directions?)

3648 Hoover is close to 17th just off Marsh Road; Hoover is the second block in from 101. yahoo maps lies when it says you can turn on Page road, which is the next block parallel to Hoover in from 101.

Okay. It's about 3; I'm headed to the post office to ship some stuff, and then up to RWC. My guess is I'll be there around 4:30. If that doesn't work, or you want to get in touch for some other reason, you can send a text message via my profile page (http://www.livejournal.com/userinfo.bml?user=jfb). Include a phone number if you need a reply.

Communication is so elaborate!

I'm all set but when we have coffee, have me tell you my ted nelson/rushkoff story with special guest appearance by Omar whathisname who used to be on the geek tv and went to oprah and blackplanet. it was at a book party for david someone who wrote a book about nerd childhood in manhattan. and i really should remember his last name because after i met him at dibbell's tiny life book party we went on a date but it was a really un-memorable date. but the story of his book party is nerdlarious.

[marm0t.livejournal.com]

you know dibbell?

the world, she is small.

[jfb.livejournal.com]

I was gonna comment on the smallness of the world but marm0t beat me to it. I'm thinking about going to a show (Four Tet) in SF tonight; would you be around for coffee and stuff transfer and ted nelson storytelling this afternoon or evening?

Hey, is that Xanadu project done yet? I heard it was just 6 months away.

[jfb.livejournal.com]

Ha.

If your told us where you're selling it, someone might buy it .. I've been looking for a copy for a while, but I'm also a cheap bastard. It might never occupy the space between.

Twenty bucks and it's yours.
