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.

(Note to Ranjit: the original message quoted by Ron Crown and Charles
Dye [raster] never arrived in my mailbox [to best of my knowledge]
nor does it appear in the archives.  Just to let you know!)

Ron Crown,

Is your question about secondary works related to a desire for an
index of them or of obtaining the artifacts themselves?

Both, obviously--but I mean, "Urth-Man Extraordinary" has a very good
index.  You mentioned "Vector" and "early 80s"--I see listings for
Vector #118 (2-84) and  #119 (4-84), as well as Vector #65 (5/6-73!).

As to securing possession of these fabled items, I have no specific
insights.

To the best of my knowledge, aided by "Urth-Man Extraordinary," Jeremy
Crampton only produced two issues of "The Book of Gold."  I, too, have
only a copy of number 2.  Jeremy is online, I believe . . .
(jcrampton at mason1.gmu.edu) if you want to ask him about it.  Who
knows--he might even agree to upload the text(s).
