Firstly, NRx is puerile and fashy and you really should consider growing out of it. Secondly, Illegal Dances was (almost) entirely written by Patrick J. Mullins, who used to comment on Molly Klein's blog amongst others, and contains no Original Nick Land Content whatsoever

My involvement is limited to a poem Patrick liked for some reason (he seemed to especially appreciate a line about "Old Adam strutting as the overman") and asked me if he could include; I couldn't see a compelling reason to refuse.
I do have a copy of the book, which sits alongside a handful of others containing small bits and pieces by me; but I'm not selling it, as much as it would amuse me to charge a Land fanboy an extortionate amount for a volume of Patrick's idiosyncratic stream-of-consciousness.
The reason Land is credited as an author, incidentally, is that some of the text is IIRC lifted from blog conversation threads with (I was never quite sure) either Land himself, or (more likely) other people (or Patrick himself) pretending to be Land. It was all a bit parasocial.
Googling around, I'm amused to find Mullins in conversation on the ktismatics blog with such luminaries of the time as Dejan Nicolic and a certain W. Kasper... ktismatics.wordpress.com/2011/07/20/ena…
That old blog scene was weird and often unsavoury in ways that have been almost entirely forgotten, more's the pity. Significantly less polarised than twitter: people hated each other with the intensity of a thousand suns, of course, but were also somehow in conversation.
