Used book stores

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 too score Wolfe books for loaning at used book
stores: On my last move I discovered I had 4 copies of
Shadow ( I kept thinking of people I'd loan it
to...;->) and I know that I've loaned at least that
many to classmates/co-workers over the years. Whats
1.50 to spread a little evangelical cheer? ;->

and as for scarcity, I tend to find pretty good
selections of the Urth stuff, less so for BotSS.
