"John",

Would you believe that even in the modern "me generation" some libraries
still prefer that their patrons avoid cutting the back ribs from books?

Dave did a really nice job of providing access to this book. The
resulting PDF file is nowhere near the largest PDF file I have on my
computer. And it is not even remotely in the same size category as the
bloatware dispensed by M$.

I have access to a scanner which, if the back rib is cut off a book, and
pages freed, scan a whole thick book in minutes--I have hand scanned books
on my home scanner, a high speed scsi HP, and it does take a bit of time and
effort--I am sure you did the same with the book you are speaking of, and
know well that task... on a fast computer, conversion of a page by fine
reader is seconds... it really just depends on how good the scanned images
are... much less than 5 secs a page for good quality--scanned images...
