possibly directly include announcement posts?

As appendices, possibly we could include (at least the not-otherwise-included parts of):

• https://slatestarcodex.com/2015/12/30/introducing-unsong/ (this one has only about 2 paragraphs of not-otherwise-included content, and they're both perfunctory.) (I haven't diffed this text and the actual prologue text to see if they even differ at all.)
• https://slatestarcodex.com/2019/07/02/editing-unsong/ (this one is more interesting)
• https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/unsong-available-in-paperback (announcement of paperback release)
• https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/from-the-mailbag ("DEAR SCOTT: When are you going to publish Unsong? — Erik from Uruk" section)
• https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/open-thread-287 a note for "m"
• https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/mantic-monday-predictions-for-2021 Unsong editing predictions
• https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/grading-my-2021-predictions Unsong editing predictions
• https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/2020-predictions-calibration-results Unsong editing predictions
• https://slatestarcodex.com/2016/12/31/2016-predictions-calibration-results/ a few unsong predictions
• maybe more predictions? these would only make sense in a big series I guess, to track various little facts about Unsong.
