[gutvol-d] Re: Scans and Texts

I would like that we archive the scans. * The original print is more pleasant to read than the ascii or html text. * Text with figures is better in its original layout. * Math text is better in its original print than in the TeX or math-html equivalent. * Many old books are simply too beautiful to be replaced with an ascii copy. However you archive the scans, please avoid 1-bit scans. 16 grey levels with 200 dpi would be better than 1-bit with 600 dpi in my experience.
