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.

With the big box stores you can sometimes luck out. If a publisher has a
very firm "do not sell by" policy (for example, the "Harry Potter" books),
you can't find it for love or money until everybody can display it. Other
publishers are not so firm. So I lucked out!
