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 sounds about right. The Cheap Street version, new, cost around $200, I
think.

Like you, I feel the need to have it all, but some things (those original
Cheap Street editions, some of Christmas-card-stories, ...) will forever
remain a bridge too far. But I do haave both versions of the guide to the
Shambles...
