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 believe that most of the Cheap Street material has been made available in
less expensive forms:=20

_Bibliomen_ is available in a new edition from Broken Mirrors Press;=20

_Empires of Foliage and Flowers_ was reprinted in _Crank_ #1 and again in
the recent _The Best of Crank!_, from Tor;=20

Of the pamphlets, two ("At the Point of Capricorn" and "The Boy Who Hooked
the Sun") were reprinted in the Gene Wolfe issue of _Weird Tales_, Spring
1988.=20

I hadn't realized how many Cheap Street Wolfes there were!

"The Arimaspian Legacy" and "Slow Children at Play", novellas, have not
been reprinted, nor has "The Old Woman Whose Rolling Pin is the Sun"
according to the sources I consulted.
