Best of Wolfe Spotted (and Purchased)

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 saw it too.  I noticed that here are little postscripts by Wolfe for
each story, so there is a reason to buy it, even if you have every
story contained in one collection or another.  The postscripts don't
give any secrets, but they're often interesting or humorous.
