Vance n stuff

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.

Hello, all.  Yeah, my copy of _Dying Earth_ should be
here tomorrow, and mmhhhh, what a crappy cover it's
got.  Almost makes the Wolfe covers look better...no.=20
No, it doesn't.  Anyway, IIRC, no spaceships in there,
and the platform Paul remembers was whatsisname's
flying castle thing, you know, with the FTL incense
and the eons-mummified dame that Rhialto simply must
mack upon.  All very deluxe, terrace gardens, and
such.  I look forward to returning to this old, old
favorite, and hope my little niece is as geeked-out
and thrilled as I was when she discovers it.  Oh, and
Blattid-the emoticons.  Yes, apparently we must. XP.
