Wizard, The Knight

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.

Absolutely fool-proof method for getting an ebook:

You must get access to a computer with an optical input device,
preferably with a flatbed -- like, say, a scanner.

Using the computer, purchase a copy of The Wizard and one of The
Knight. You can definitely get them from barnesandnoble.com or even
amazon.com. Have them shipped _directly_ to your address.

Scan both books (remember, there's text on both sides of each page!),
using software to optimize character recognition. Save output into a
word processor, then -- and this is the tricky part -- you have to go
line by line through the scanned copy, comparing it to the printed
books to ensure no errors make it through. This may take some time,
but it critical to ensure that your ebook is canonical.

Finally, save the cleaned up text into your favorite electronic
book-reader format. That should do it!

Hope this "helps,"
