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.

I don't know what the terms are under which advance copies of books are
distributed, but the prime concern of most publishers is generating interest
and publicity for their books. Advance copies are geberally sent out so that
they can be reviewed, so in that spirit I can't see there being any
objection to your giving us a list of the stories contained in this volume.
I'm certainly interested, and I'm sure others are too. Indeed, collectively,
I would have thought that we constituted a prime market for this book!

So...

Which stories have they chosen to include, Don?
