Our recent discussion regarding scanning the Vision Age magazines made me
curious as to how feasible it would be to do that. I decided to give it
try and scanned in Volume 1 to see how large it would be. I didn't spend
a lot of time cleaning up the scans, some of the pages aren't perfectly
square, some shadows on the edges, etc., but it's still legible. A proper
scan/edit would produce better results. You can find a pdf of it here:

The final pdf is about 10MB so expect it to take some time to download
if you're on a slow link. The original scans were done at 300dpi and
reduced to 150dpi for the pdf. It takes about 425MB to store the 300dpi
tiff images! It does seem feasible to scan the Vision Age magazines and
output them at 150dpi. Any volunteers? :-)
