I have 4 spiral bound copies that I had printed I can deliver to BPG for $30 each. These have clear plastic cover. They are usually sold loose. For delivery only to BPG. I will list again later what does not sell. I can make more as well.
A great way to let people see these is is before they are gone adding an electronic copy to the All BUICK libraries at http://buick-libraries.boattail-riviera-by-buick.com The Libraries are Contributors Only and this would make great addition to what is already there and can be made made public viewing for a time if you wish . They would be your ticket for full libraries membership, and you will get back cleaned up, searchable bookmarked copies for your future use. Plus you get can additional pubs, members shared downloads and videos as you progress thru the contributors levels. (The page level contributions are low for now, but will increase as the libraries grow) Use The Donate Documents to set up your contributors folder and send in just about any you can format from raw page scans, photo even to finished pdfs. Scanning tips Around 300 dpi works best for character recognition of small text (150 is ok for large text) any higher than 300 just takes longer to scan. When scanning getting things straight is the main thing (I can correct this but its very time consuming). Use the same setting for all pages and do pages in order including backs of covers and any blank pages so the flip books will be close as possible to flipping thru the real thing. - exposure etc are much easier to correct if the scans are consistent go for clarity of text/pictures above color of page for old documents, usually default scanner setting work out just fine. Your going get to shadows along seams of some books - weighing the page your scanning down along the seam can really reduce this an stops distortion of the text. and is much easier on the seam of you book than pressing down on it - for books in binders take the pages out (especially if using camera) - for books to large for scanners or for those that dont have scanners - using a tripod and camera can get great results set one leg longer and weight it down to get the camera directly over the pub without shadows or set camera on table edge to steady and keep things parallel - use indirect light to reduce glare rather than flash - and the highest resolution setting of your camera. i can work with what your scanner outputs - if your scanner has auto crop it often crops to text area - better to set it for page size or with camera beyond the pub - scan so whole page shows I'd rather crop the edges than have cut off different size pages (I end up doing that anyway if any straightening is needed, and scanners especially those that save to PDF always make some page crooked).
