Finally... UOTNS has arrived

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.

Well, after deciding to order the book online since none of the stores near
here had it, it took TWO WEEKS for everything to go through.

I'm glad it's finally here, and fortunately my waning enthusiasm was quickly
stirred after beginning the book.  A few reviews I read said this book was
unnecessary after the 4 before it, but I don't see how that could be true.
There are just too many questions left unanswered.

Is there anything you can warn me to look out for?  Any details I should
make sure I catch?
