CHANT: The Benedictine Monks of Santo Domingo de Silos
Angel Records 1994 Excellent
Full Length CD. UPC # 0208314770267. CD has no appreciable wear and appears to be as new. Case has a little light scuffing but otherwise as new. Original inserts. 19 tracks.
Review: Cloistered Calm, July 24, 2000
That the calm and the serenity conveyed by these chants, which have survived for approximately 1,500 years, is still relevant today, can be readily appreciated by the fact this recording stayed at the top of the best seller list an inordinately long period of time upon its release.
In addition, if one has a sense of history, listening to this music is like peering through a window into the distance past. The intervening hundreds of years seem to melt away.

Aiken, Joan JANE FAIRFAX Jane Austen's Emma, through Another's Eyes
St. Martin's 1991 0312058845 First Edition; First Printing Hardcover Very Good+ in Very Good+ dust jacket
Only light wear overall. Light edgewear, light soiling outer edge of pages, interior clean & tight, no markings, not price clipped. Publishers Weekly: "Once again Aiken ( Mansfield Revisited ) playfully recreates the fictional world of Jane Austen by appropriating her characters: Jane Fairfax is the friend and rival of the heroine of Emma . Here, headstrong, self-important Emma Woodhouse is pushed from center stage as the limelight falls on the childhood and maturation of her foil. Orphaned Jane is brought up by her shabby-genteel aunt and grandmother in Highbury, near the Woodhouse family estate. Jane joins Emma in her music lessons, where Jane's talent and diligence invite a jealousy in Emma, which is partly overcome after the death of her mother leaves a disconsolate Emma receptive to too-good-to-be-true Jane's sympathy. Then an old family friend whisks Jane off to London in order to educate her alongside his daughters, so that she might eventually support herself as a governess. A grown-up Jane returns to Highbury secretly engaged to Frank Churchill, whose aunt refuses to die and leave him the money and freedom to marry as he chooses. While Aiken lacks Austen's incomparable style and wit, her light, diverting novel captures the flavor, if not the substance, of Austen's milieu. " (*shipping will be reduced to most locations); 8vo

Albert, Michael MOVING FORWARD Program for a Participatory Economy
Edinburgh AK Press 2000 1902593413 First Edition Softcover Near Fine
Excellent condition, clean & unmarked, a little wear to outer corners, slight wrinkling on a couple pages. " If not capitalism, then what? Something's not working, but there's a dearth of material on what could be right - and more important how to change things. Laying out strategy & vision for his "participatory economics, " Albert argues that we must change the way we view work & wages and restructure our workplaces so that everyone can become involved in controlling their working lives. The third in his "Forward" books is written in clear language and will be of interest to those just beginning to question capitalist logic & to experienced activists. Using real-world examples, Albert offers today's political discontents a valuable tool. Michael Albert is a co-founder of both South End Press and Z magazine and lives in Woods Hole" (*shipping will be reduced to most locations) [os] ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall

Aldiss, Brian SEASONS IN FLIGHT
Ace 1988 0441757049 First Edition Softcover Very Good+
Very nice condition, other than a small hole punch upper corner of cover, otherwise clean & unmarked, with only light edgewear to cover. ; 12mo 7" - 7½" tall; "....Aldiss offers a short book of enigmatic fables. Many of these describe a conflict or friction between two cultures, classes or towns that ends in fruitless strife or mutual consternation. The moral message of conciliation and understanding is repeatedly undercut by the sad reminder of selfish human nature. Only one entry breaks free from this limited format: "The Girl Who Sang," which is alone here in creating characters and a specific, evocative background (it is set in the world of the Helliconia novels). " (*shipping will be reduced after checkout) " [90-osl]
