Quote from the torrent ... "This is a full 736 page scan of the Amiga Guru Book by Ralph Babel.  It was scanned at 300dpi, and the entire book is English and is text-searchable." ... Unquote

What I'd like to know is how did they get to scan the entire 736 pages at 300dpi into PDF format without anybody smelling a rat?

A cop out? Oh yes ... you bet'cha!

I want the book, the whole book ... and nothing but the book!

Something about this entire episode smells for sure ... and I don't mean of roses.
