Haha! yeah, 8 down, 695 to go?

Hmm... If I scan an average of 2 books per day, I can have all of them scanned in a year with 14 vacation days =P.

I think it was supposed to actually smell like barf, and others like cat litter.

Feminism and Harbinger

I'm thinking of writing an English Essay on Feminism in the Harbinger first 4 issues. (TPB)

Any ideas?

Gotta be something in there with Ax getting his nuts burned off, Flamingo being um... a busy girl, and Kris not sure whether she's in control of her relationship with Peter.

OK. Here's how to get in on the project: 1) Take out a comic of yours that is in what I call "Readable" shape. Kiss it goodby, because it's going down by about 1 grade by doing this ;-) 2) Place it on your flatbed scanner several times, scanning EVERY page (including ads) at 75 dpi. 3) Sav...

Some of you may have seen the thread about the Weekly comic reading lists over on another room. My thought is to combine it with the scanning project. That way, we can easilly keep people on the same page each week in the valiant universe. It will also enable everyone to eventually download the enti...

Whoa, my brain hurts, I must have an idea....

What if we combined this with the comic scanning project?????

Scan all the books for a week, host those comics somewhere, and replace them for the next week????

That way people could end up downloading all the comics eventually, and we could have a comprehensive guide to the comic scanning!

I'm very impressed. If it would be possible in Acrobat (and not more work - maybe easier?) to put the cropped images side-by-side as two seperate images still showing up as nicely on the screen, then I'd like that. actually, that would probably work, but there would be no way of making sure that th...

For your question I see the choice between the perfect fit you have accomplished (do you have an A3-scanner?) and the freedom of viewing individual pages if wanted. I tried CDisplay also and both there and in Acrobat reader I appreciate the two-page format. I wonder how much of a standard CDisplay ...

YW

Now Myron, by downloading the books, you have to promise to tell me what you think. Should I keep doing side-by-side, or split them into individual pages?

This goes for all of you as well! =)
