Google & Yahoo: Scanning Old Books

[asian1]

Google and Yahoo have similar projects: scanning old, out of print books. However there is a lawsuit from the authors.

If they can solve the problems, is it possible to scan old Amiga related books, manual etc?
What about copyright problems?

No

No ? :cry: I can't find the guru book anywhere. To have it online would be really great.

And illegal.

I bought Guru book recently, it was cheapish and in good shape. I consider myself lucky.

I also e-mailed Ralph Babel. He is alive and well, and he would allow reprinting of the book against a "good offer" - it's unclear what this would be, but if any of you is "money man" and interested in The Amiga Guru Book reprint, please contact Ralph

Also modifications would be allowed.

I scanned all my Amiga magazines onto CD. Too bad I can't make them available. :-)

There are a ton of c64 books scanned... why not Amiga?

[JimS]

A lot of the old Atari 8-bit books and magazines are online with the permissions of the owners.
