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.

That is, the four Cornelius books in /The Cornelius Chronicles/.? I deny that I ever read /The Cornelius Chronicles, Volume 2/ (and the second Amber series).? Also, I'd say you have to read all four of the books in TCC, even when things get really strange (like the surrealistic version of /Stand on Zanzibar/).? Otherwise you might think you were just in for a rewrite of the Elric books in Ladbroke Grove, or so I'm told.? Though you might be able to make do with the introduction by John Clute.
