CASTLE OF THE OTTER

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.

No, it hasn't.

Yes, it was offered by the SFBC, but I don't have the order number.

>  Finally, who put out the regular hardcover edition?

Mark Zeising, a dealer in Willimantic, Connecticut. It was a small
press, limited edition publication, since sold out. Zeising was also
the original publisher of two other Gene Wolfe books, THE WOLFE
ARCHIPELAGO and LIVE, FREE, LIVE.
