Amazon has RTW cover up

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.

Dan'l,
	I just popped over to the one photo of Wolfe online that sprung to mind=20
(it's on Paul Duggan's Wolfe page), and darned if you ain't right.  That=20
giant DOES look a lot like Wolfe.
	Although I love just about everything Wolfe writes, the prospect of a=20
metafictional intrusion into/resolution of the Whorl storyline provokes=20
pangs of dread.  I'm hoping this was more of a tip of the hat to Wolfe on=20
the artist's part.
	Can anyone make anything out of that funky headgear on the giant?
	Michael
