Amiga Format time to PDF them!

[tasmanian guy]

Hi everyone,
 
I have now managed to get issues from 1 to 96 and 136 (last issue) of Amiga Format.
 
I also have every special edition of Amiga Format except for Amiga Format Special 3 and 10, one is the Beginners Guide to the Amiga and the second was the one that was packaged in the Dynamite Amiga 1200 package!  So if anyone can help out with those two that would be great!
 
I think it is fitting first of all to scan issue 1 of Amiga Format and the very last issue 136.
 
Now I don't know how this will work, but is there anywhere on www.amiga.org that this could be hosted for people to download for nostalgic reasons?
 
I was going to get hosting for my amigaformat.com domain, but I can't really afford the $$$ at the moment.  I've also tried contacting Future Publishing asking for permission to host these magazines, but so far no response.
 
Anyway I'm up for some ideas perhaps people may want to make a small donation to my paypal account to help me with my time in getting almost 100 issues scanned in along with the price I've had to pay to purchase these in the UK and get them sent to Australia.
 
Let me know your thoughts and if there are specific articles you're after let me know and I'll see what I can do to scan them.  Preference of course would be given those who care to donate some a dollar or two.

AMR is incomplete scans of AF issues and I don't just mean missing adverts, which is pointless really.

Most of AMR is incomplete - their primary focus is games, so most magazines don't include non-games pages.

That site has some covers, but no scans of them.
 
Anyway over the next few weeks I'll scan issues 1 to 12 (August 1989 onwards) and find somewhere to host them.

Hi Tasmanian Guy. Did you manage to scan in those Amiga Formats? If so have you hosted them somewhere?

Many thanks

Wouldn't it be beneficial to work together with DLH to get all of these magazines out and available? That is an awful lot of work, scanning all those pages. I realize other problems may enter into this idea, but hey - it's an idea.

I admire your dedication.

Most of these issues are already scanned, there are about 130 (some duplication) ZIP or PDF files on USENET right now. They have been there for nearly a year.

But nobody ever bothered to download them from alt.binaries etc and stick them on a HTTP accessible site like archive.org AATT.

So there is the solution, if I had a newsbin compatible service I would do it myself

We can host it. But we need the permission from the right holders

Why not on Archive.org where "Amiga Computing" and "Amiga World" are already hosted?
