The Wizard's House release info

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.

Google Alert tells me of a page
http://news.pspublishing.co.uk/2009/08/03/midsummer-madness-60-off-pre-2008-titles/
which apparently says:

"We've been busy as usual with new purchases, including a limited
edition of Gene Wolfe's new novel, The Sorcerer's House, due out next
March. Told entirely in a series of letters, the result is a bona fide
page-turner. ..."

We already knew all that, but limited editions are always fun.

Another fun link is http://kleinletters.com/Blog/?p=4900 on _A Walking
Tour of the Shamles_ where Neil Gaiman comments that "One of us wrote
four pages and sent them to the other, who wrote four pages and sent
them back, and so on until it was done."
