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.

_The magic faraway tree_  (we're not restricted to "High Fantasy" are we ;))
_A wizard of earthsea_
_The Weirdstone of Brisingamen_
_Elidor_
_The nargun and the stars_
_Sweethallow valley_
...

(and I guess we should mention _A devil in a forest_, though it wouldn't be=
 in
my _top_ 10.)
