A couple weeks before Christmas my parents asked me to order some books for myself online as a present and I did so, finding three books I really wanted that could be shipped right away and arrive around Christmas. A few weeks passed and I e-mailed the company I had purchased the books from in order to check on my order. Soon a reply informed me that they had made an error in listing two of the items as in stock, hadn’t bothered to inform me of this and had sent one of the books already. That week a package arrived for me that held all three books I ordered. Today another package arrived that contained additional copies of two of the books (with a value of nearly $50). It is important to keep a well documented inventory.
Is anyone interested in having a copy of Deng Ming-Dao’s Everyday Tao or Phillip Lopate’s anthology The Art of the Personal Essay?

I haven’t read my copy yet, but I’ve heard good things about it.
The Art of the Personal Essay looks rather interesing… what would you like for it? 😀
You could surprise me. It’s a rather huge book, nearly 800 pages.
Wow… that is quite large!
If you send it to me, I will send you something fun from Newfoundland! 😀
excellent
Indeed.
You need to get on AIM… I got Ani’s new album today and would like to send you it. 🙂
Oh, yay. Why didn’t you mention it?
I’m enjoying it so far, I’m on “Seeing Eye Dog”.
Well, I’ll be looking forward to you getting on.
Ah, I understand.
I really do love Recoil. I also got the Trust DVD tonight… I’ll be watching it later on.
I will of course do so. One reason I had to get it is because it features Dennis Kucinich, my favourite American politician and my choice for President in 2004.
APOLLO!! BUDDY!! If you haven’t given away the extra copy of Deng Ming-Dao’s Everyday Tao, I’d appreciate having it. Seriously. Well, that’s assuming you’re giving it away, because otherwise I can’t afford it. But you know what I mean. =D
It seems to be spoken for above, but if she doesn’t want it, I’ll send it your way.
Fair enough. Let me know if/when it becomes available, and I’ll email you my address. =D
My younger brother ended up with a free copy of the Kingdom Hospital DVDs that same way. 😀
Did he order it from Movie Mars?
I don’t think so. I believe it was from a seller on e-bay. He’d instructed them to mail it here (so I’d have it for Christmas) and they screwed up and sent another about a week later. When he told them what had happened, they said to keep it.
Ok. The seller on ebay I bought from was called Movie Mars, so I was wondering if he’d bought from the same company. You know, it could be a systemic problem.
