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.

	Could this be *The Book of Fantasy* by B & BC, published by Viking in
1988? It's a collection of stories by other authors first pub'd in 1940 in
the Argentine. The first is by Akutagawa, but this edition is arranged
alphabetically (aleph-abetically?) by authors. There's a Bradbury, a couple
of Chestertons, etc.=20
	Let us know if it's the same book.
