Amiga Format time to PDF them!
« on: June 08, 2011, 02:51:50 PM »
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.

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.

The reality of life is holding me up, have a 14 month old baby, a pregnant wife, full time job and uni.
 
I've got every issue of Amiga Format from 1 through to 136.
 
I have every issue of ST / Amiga Format as well.
 
I have every Amiga Format annual except one.
 
I have spent probably over $600 on this so far.
 
It is a boring job scanning them and is something people will have to be patient with.
 
Perhaps I'd be tempted to release them in 12 issue blocks.
 
issues 1 to 12
issues 13 to 24 etc.
 
136 issues is almost 12 years worth of magazines!
