>>	Anonymous Sun Mar 29 19:34:26 2015 No.6333635 Who gives a shit about a first edition of a book published less than 20 years ago, and which probably was hundreds of thousands of copies. You can probably get a copy for a lower price than a new one.

>>	Anonymous Mon Mar 30 01:38:48 2015 No.6335119 In all seriousness how is this book? I read the first chapter (or page lol) at the store and I was hooked. I'm almost done with book 1 in the Illuminatus! Trilogy but I don't think I'm gonna make it bros. I like DFWs prose too much.
