No, I haven't known about it until now. :)
It looks similar to Netflix.
Not a bad concept but Powells is right in our backyard and you can find books at bargain prices and sell them back if you choose. ]]>

Tennessee Williams' play "A Streetcar Named Desire" came to Broadway in 1947, won the Pulitzer Prize for drama, and was made into an award-winning film. But you don't have to wait to see a stage or video version of the play. "Streetcar" is one of those theatrical triumphs which also succeeds in book form as a compelling read.
Taking place in New Orleans, "Streetcar" tells the painful story of aging southern belle Blanche DuBois, her sister Stella, Stella's brutish husband Stanley, and the circle of people who frequent Stella's home. Williams creates an incisive examination of human sexuality and socioeconomic difference. His characters come to life with powerful dialogue; this play is a heartbreaking read.
A compelling companion text for "Streetcar" would be Eugene O'Neill's classic play "Anna Christie," which won the Pulitzer for the 1921-22 theater season. Like "Streetcar," "Anna" deals with male expectations of female sexuality in a powerful way.
Willams' Blanche is truly one of the most memorable female characters in United States literature. "Streetcar" is an unforgettable tapestry of desire, shame, and disturbing revelations. An essential text for anybody with an interest in 20th century drama. ]]>
A wonderful primer for those who want to color outside the sexual lines. It also contains a LOT of good tips for those in monogamous relationships, particularly the chapter on jealousy. Whether you're into the open relationships, polyamory or just looking for some great perspective on relationships, this book is very valuable indeed. ]]>
