This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Gene Wolfe's novel FREE LIVE FREE is going to be published by Mark
Ziesing's specialty press sometime in the next few weeks.  FREE LIVE
FREE lived free of a contract for a while because Timescape Books
went down the tubes, but in a deal with Ziesing, who also published
Wolfe's book about THE BOOK OF THE NEW SUN named THE CASTLE OF THE
OTTER, a special limited edition will come out this month.
According to LOCUS #285, the edition will be illustrated, signed,
and limited to 750 copies.  According to Mark Ziesing when I spoke
to him on the phone, the book will be a high quality printing, 500
pages with a fancy dustjacket, and will cost $45.  I shelled out for
one, and if you think $45 is a bit steep then you can find out later
whether it's worth it when I review it.  If you're interested in a
copy yourself, here are Mark's parameters:

        Mark Ziesing
        PO Box 806 (for orders) or
        762 Main St. (where the shop is)
        'Orders over $25 are sent post free' except $2.50 overseas

Mark has also published Phil Dick's early novel THE MAN WHOSE TEETH
WERE ALL EXACTLY ALIKE, one of the missing books from Dick's pre-SF
period.  When Dick re-read his old unpublished novels soon before he
died, he picked TEETH as his favorite.  Mark will part with a copy
of TEETH for $19.50, plus $1.50 postage and handling if it's not
part of another order.

I have no connection with Mark Ziesing and have never even been to
Connecticut,
