note to KaguyaHime [sic]

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.

Hello KaguyaHime,

I saw your November 2000 review of LEXICON URTHUS on Amazon.com.  Because I
have no way of contacting you otherwise, I'm leaving a public note for you
here in the hopes that someday you will find it, and the larger community
of Wolfe-readers.

Reading over your review, I cannot help but think that you did not receive
an errata sheet with your copy of the book (which must be the fault of the
seller, since all copies sent out have errata sheets enclosed).  Yes, there
are errors in the book, and in the several years since I published the
Lexicon I've been diligent about listing them all in the short form
(updated errata sheets, issued free of charge) and the long form (those
pesky chapbooks).  That your copy is now dotted with post-its is
intriguing: while I would be interested in any new corrections that you may
have to offer (as would, I'm sure, all the other people who have sent in
additions, corrections, &cetera), I also hope that you won't feel too
stupid for reinventing the wheel in those cases where you most probably
have.
