De Bibliomeno

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.

Mantis, or whoever:

	I have the new Broken Mirrors Bibliomen. "Broken Mirrors" is right, since
there are typos in everything they do!
	In "Gertrude S. 'Spinning Jenny' DePlatta," the dates are contradictory in
my edition. Now, since circularity is the theme of this vignette, I can see
that this might be deliberate. Or it might be a typo. I can't trust my
edition. So, what I wanna know from anybody who has the original Cheap
Street edition is this: Are the dates sequential in your edition, or not?
	BTW, I got that the new "Seaman" is Neal Gaiman, but is "Captain Mirk"
anyone?
