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.

Of course there is a hardback edition-- I'm lucky enough to have a first
edition.  But it is a bit old, and not very findable.  :)

On that note, I'd be interested in discussions with anyone who believes
they have a fine Wolfe collection.  Mine is probably decent, though some of
you may have better.  My prize possessions are a paperback of Operation
Ares, a signed copy of the original Plan(e)t Engineering, a hardcover of
The Devil in a Forest (which Wolfe was kind enough to send me as a gift),
and a signed Cheap Street edition of Empires of Foliage and Flower, among
others.  Any other ardent collectors out there?
