Re: IML: Imperial Club News / 1966 FSM

[Kenyon Wills <imperialist1960@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the kind offer to loan your '66 FSM, Bill. 
It is not posted anywhere that I'm aware of.
 
Currently, these are the FSM's that are in the
pipeline:  1929, 1932, 1933, 1934-36, 1949-50,
1951-52, 1955, 1958 (anyone heard from Larry Blomberg
in australia?  I'm looking for him on the one we
loaned to him to scan...), 1965, 1967, 1969, 1970,
1972, 1982.

Each one has tons of info to share, be we don't have
the manpower to knock these out very rapidly (which is
 why I was hoping to entice some new folks to come in
and help).  We have been averaging about one per month
for awhile - 1955 is just around the corner from being
done, so I am told.  

How would you feel about having your FSM spiral bound?

To scan a manual, we've been bottom-feeding on Ebay
and buying copies that then get the binding sliced
off.

This allows them to be fed into the automated scanner
that we have.  It's either that or manually scanning
400-600 pages by hand to preserve the bindings, and
you get the page rolling up into the binding if you
avoid breaking the spine of the book, so we decided
that we'd just go out and get books that nobody owned
or was particular about and sacrifice them for the
cause.

If you're still in to donating your book's body to
science, we'll pay to have it spiral bound and mailed
back.  Result is OK, but you have to be a little more
careful when handling the book.  Usually a 5-7 day
turnaround.  Email me off list and we can arrange
it...
