How we can get a special new "retro" edition of BotNS

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.

Wolfe, Vance, and CS Lewis are genre-busters. They need a category for 
themselves. I suppose Burroughs' Mars stories would go there. Maybe some 
of Bradbury's stuff. The new Doctor Who series tilts more toward Fantasy 
than SF now IMO.
