You Shall Know Our Velocity
Plot summary
Will has surprisingly come into a large amount of money- around $32,000. His photograph screwing in a lightbulb has been made a silhouette and is being used as a picture for the company's lightbulb boxes. He is uncomfortable having this money because of a subplot that bursts into several scenes in the book: Will and Hand's third friend, Jack, had recently been killed in a car accident, and the two had delusional ambitions to use the money to save his life, but to no avail. Will plans to travel around the world visiting obscure countries and giving away all the money, bit by bit, to people whom they arbitrarily decide are most deserving. According to Hand, they gave to people for the benefit of both parties--as a sacrament with the purpose of restoring a faith in humanity. The two come up with many creative ways of distributing the unwanted money. One plan involves taping money to a donkey in a graph paper pouch that reads- HERE I AM ROCK YOU LIKE A HURRICANE. While on the journey the two friends do many wild and spontaneous things including practicing rolling over cars and jumping from tree to tree while twenty feet in the air. However without a solid set of criteria, or a definitive direction in their plan, this proves surprisingly difficult, and they experience much awkward confusion and moral uncertainty. They often fear being robbed and killed. Will becomes unstable and begins to lose his composure. The plot is both a log of the journey, as well as a look into the mind of the narrator, Will, who often feels isolated, confused, and shy.
A pseudo-sequel entitled '"The Only Meaning of the Oil-Wet Water" follows Hand and the minor character Pilar in Central America. This short story is featured in the collection How We Are Hungry: Stories.
Different editions
In February 2003 Eggers and McSweeney's published Sacrament, a retitled hardcover edition of You Shall Know Our Velocity that included a new 49-page section inserted into the middle of the story. The U.S. trade-paperback edition of You Shall Know Our Velocity (with an exclamation point added to the title), released later that year by Vintage, includes some changes but does not include this new material. The addition, narrated by Hand, calls into question the reliability of the narrator, and, depending on which version is read, You Shall Know Our Velocity can be viewed as two different stories. In Hand's version, their third friend, Jack, never actually existed. Instead, he is a metaphorical representation of Will's mother, a device he used to cope with the loss that apparently occurred several years before the trip (rather than alive and in contact with Will as in his version). Hand also corrects one of the most startling scenes in Will's version, in which he breaks down emotionally, claiming that Will was too shy to do such a thing. Hand does say that the Will's version was 85% true, though he did hate the title, renaming it "Sacrament."
The original version was narrated entirely by Will. In the world of the revised version, Will's memoirs were published six years earlier, and Hand has taken it upon himself to insert his own perspective immediately after the climax of the story. Hand's meta-narrative is entirely self-contained, and it is as much a personal digression as it is a relevant critique of the story as presented by Will.
For the hardcover version of You Shall Know Our Velocity, the opening paragraph of the novel was printed directly on the front cover. In Sacrament, Hand alludes to the opening paragraph being written by a ghostwriter.
Film adaptation
The book has been optioned by Process Productions and Miguel Arteta is attached to direct.

About the Author
I am an expert from Cheap On Sales, usually analyzes all kind of industries situation, such as pcmcia reader usb , bluetooth peripheral device driver.
Where can I find the best website for buying vintage paperback cookbooks??
I have been collecting for over 30 years and cannot find any more reliable sources. Thank You
Go to ebay, on their homepage under Catagories click on Books or Home and Garden. There are many sub-catagories on those pages which include cookbooks, such as Antiquarian & Collectible Books, Magazine Subscriptions, Nonfiction Books, Magazine Back Issues, etc.
Under these headings, there is a Cooking, Food, Wine catagory.
When I went to one of these catagories, in the search box, I entered Old Cookbooks and made sure I checked the box which says Search Title And Description underneath the search box.
Example: Under Home And Garden, I ended up with 1135 items.
You can narrow your search criteria down on the lefthand side with more subcategories and search options.
I have included a couple of links for you.
Good Luck!!
