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.

I found Claw of the Conciliator here, without the overlaid text of the
cover:

(a lovely scan by the way)

and scans of the actual covers, with blurbs etc, here:

Real jaw-dropping stuff - Severian looking stunning in fuligin
(it's the new black).

(apologies for this not being strictly relevant to LS anymore - although
isn't Severian rumoured to make an appearance in the Short Sun books?)
