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 agree that's probably the set Mike wants, but I should point out that
there are others: I have an Arrow edition from around 1987 with
(unexciting) covers by one Peter Andrew Jones. There was also an earlier
edition (not sure if this was also by Arrow) with rather nice covers by
(I think) Bruce Pennington.

Best,
