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 hope I don't get bit again, but I don't *think* these are "real" books.
And I suspect that there are quite a few more candidates in Wolfe's fiction.

=46rom TIODDAOSAOS:

In "The Doctor of Death Island" (p. 253) is THE DEATH OF LOVE by Kinglake,
apparently a book about psychology.

In "Seven American Nights" (p. 383) is MYSTERY BEYOND THE SUN'S SETTING by
Osman Aga, some sort of popular account of travels within the ruined
interior of America.
