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.

Knowing the interest people on this list have in John
Crowley, I'd like to make the following announcement
of imminent publication of the first ever book-length
critical study of John Crowley, edited by our very own
Alice "alga" Turner and Michael "mantis"
Andre-Driussi. They have enormously expanded their
earlier chapbook, also called SNAKE'S-HANDS: THE
FICTION OF JOHN CROWLEY.

Full details below. A few notes: the publisher is
Wildside Press, and this is a Print On Demand book.
It's available from amazon.com and
www.wildsidepress.com, as well as other online
booksellers. If the $49.95 pricetag sounds heinous,
there will be a trade paperback next year at around
$20.
