Bibliomen

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.

I am pretty sure I have everything save some of his essays.  Certainly everything listed as fiction.  Bibliomen isn't earth shattering but it's good fun.  The version published later is cheaper and had a few additional entries so get that one if you feel compelled.

Thanks for the info!  I did find the less expensive version, they still go for about $40.
