the overlaps

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.

What was not clear from Mantis's list is that the fiction in _Plan[e]t
Engineering_ was completely reprinted in either _Endangered Species_ or
_Storeys from the Old Hotel_.=20

The Wolfe Compleatist will want to have _PE_ anyway. Besides the poems and
the _Plant Engineering_ article on robots, _PE_ contains the only
publication of the brilliant essay, "Books in _The Book of the New Sun_".=20

_The Wolfe Archipelago_'s introductory story, "The Death of the Island
Doctor", was reprinted in _Storeys_.=20

Other than that, yes, there's not much overlap among the various
collections. This is not completely accidental; _Storeys_ was assembled as
a small-press companion piece to _Endangered Species_, to collect all of
Wolfe's favorites of his own pieces which had not been collected elsewhere.=20
