Of photos, necks, chiropractors and MS Paint.

If enough of you guys are interested, I'll assemble them all together as a single "sticky" thread within the "Gunsmithing" forum .

Oh yes please, PLEASE, PLEASE !

Just one snag! I now feel obliged to scan the Rigby treatise - and don't know how to scan a book! I have a scanner and digital camera. The trouble with a flat-bed scanner is that you either press it hard down on the glass and break the spine of the book (120 years old!) or have a fuzzy section on the edge of each page closest to the binding. Usually a bit of both. On the other hand, I could photograph each page individually and dowload the photos into the computer.

The scanning or photographing is not the problem. In both cases, the question is (assuming that my software has the facility to generate PDF files integrated somewhere): How do you concatenate the 100-plus individual page files into one document?

BTW. As we are leaving in a week to give "the Antipodes" a good inspection - a once in a lifetime holiday - do not expect to see any results before May!
