k-Pack Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 I have been sitting on my copy of "CompuServe Forum Libraries: The Best of Atari 8-bit" book wondering what I should do with it. For me it was cheaper to buy a book listing the library files then to be on line. I can't be sure but I think these were print-on-demand listings; this one dated February 1987. Don't see a lot of them on eBay nor can I find a PDF at archive.org. I'm not sure how rare it is. I want to scan it but I believe I would destroy the binding. Or should I keep it intact?

evilmoo Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 I'm biased, but I think scanning it preserves it for historical value, so I would go that route. I have no idea what it's worth as a collector's item. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle22 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 I'd try using a document camera before damaging the book. [72347,3014] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Allan Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 I have destroyed dozens of Atari books and manuals to scan them with my document feeder. I would just cut the spine and scan it. You could scan it without destroying it but it will take a LONNNG time. Allan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
