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.

Has anyone out there read _Castle_of_the_Otter_ or
_Planet_Engineering_?  From something I read in Dann & Duzois'
_Mermaids_, _Castle_ is about the writing of the Book of the New Sun
- and note the play on _Citadel_of_the_ _Autarch_.  And
_Planet_Engineering_ is probably columns from _Plant_ _Engineering_,
which Wolfe edits.

Supposedly somebody, TOR I think, has come out with a $16 edition of
_Free_Live_Free_, with slightly revised text.  Anybody seen it?

Anyway, if anyone has read any of these books, please drop me a line
letting me know if they're worth finding.
