free cookbooks and ted nelson

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

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

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?

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.

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

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.
