Uncollected Wolfe Bibliography, brush-bush

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 don't recall that you ever mentioned which edition you were quoting from.
I don't have every edition; I am aware of a few different typos in the
editions I have (the Easton Press edition has the most embarassing one,
fwiw); thus as far as I knew it was completely possible for you to be
correctly quoting from a corrupt text.  You chide me for extending you the
benefit of the doubt?

(Re: textual variations. Dan Rabin is our specialist/memory man here, and I
pause to remind him of the horrific variation in the omnibus edition of
Long Sun, wherein "I" becomes "Horn." <shudder>)

Easy--it is already done.  Ta-da!  Haven't you been reading the messages at
all?  It was posted three days ago. Best of all, I didn't do it--it was
John Barach.
