Project - 1943 TM9-801
Posted: Tue Jun 09, 2015 10:17 amIn the process of scanning in a 43 TM9-801 to add to the web site.. will be OCR's and searchable like the 44 TM9 already published but with much more fidelity. The copy of the 44 TM9 is the one that's been on the Internet for eaons and uses low a dpi black and white scanner. The 43 TM9 is 300dpi grayscale and is incredible to look at.
Yes, I did cut the spine, but the book was not pristine and I figured for the cost ($22 off ebay) cutting the spine is a small price to pay to have a copy on the Internet for all to read.
The crappy part is the small page size means that my scanner's ADF pickup wheel doesn't feed it properly so double sided ADF scanning was not possible... so I did the odd then even pages, and will have to recombine them in order then PDF-ize them. I will be adding chapter bookmarks (I love that feature).
Lots of processing to do still... but that's pretty damn good compared to the 44 TM9
