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.

The above are the first three in the series.  Spelling is not exact
but close enough for government work, and since I don't have my books
here, I'm not sure where either of us has gone wrong, and it makes no 
difference anyway.  The fourth book is:

         Citadel of the Autarch

You are correct, there is a fifth book:

         The Urth of the New Sun.

Excellent series, well worth reading as much for the story Wolfe is
telling as for the imagery generated by the rhythmic flow of his words.
