so, i've been stretching you outside your comfort-zone...
and i apologize for that, but hey, it's good for you, right?      :+)

but since it's friday, let's make today's thing easy for you.

you know those scans i've been using?, from archive.org,
the yellowed ones, really bad, the 380*600-pixel images?

how 'bout you clean them up, with scan-tailor, get rid of
their yellow background, and resize 'em too, about 150%,
providing that that doesn't mess up their readability much.

you could pull them out of the .pdf, too, but it seems that
-- from the write-up you gave in your "enlightenment" --
you enjoy both familiarity and expertise with scan-tailor...

p.s.  but if you really don't wanna do it, that's fine, i will...
i love working with that app; it's small, but packs a punch.
