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.

Excellent news.

I do have Pennington's 5HoC, Book of Days, Devil in a Forest and
Island of Doctor Death (and many other wonderful non-Wolfe BP covers)
- but only as paperbacks alas.

It still amuses me that those tatty covers I scanned so long ago
remain online, after the rise and fall of whole digital empires. It
was a freebie dial-up web account provided by a long-gone ISP.
Somewhere in the world, on a dusty shelf in a room no one visits
anymore, a lone LED pulses on a forgotten server.
