|  H and D's C16/Plus4 Handbook Issue1 of 12 Scanned! - 2002-04-21
Any reason why only issue 1 has been scanned and is available for download?

Lando scanned that one way back, and no-one has contributed any more issues. A quick search through this forum reveals that Chris uploaded the other issues to his collection over at www.commodore16.com.

I was bidding against Chris for the H @ D handbooks on Ebay, I won, got all the issues, they are a great read, especially seeing my name in them from my younger days. Brought back loads of mermories.

Hi Snowy,
When were they on eBay? How much did they sell for? I have a full set, i would be willing to sell if the price was right.

I added the individual scanned pages of Issue 1, so it's easy to browse through the pages. Also linked all the mentioned games. Take a look here. Do either one of you guys want to share the rest of the issues with us?

The basic way would be to scan all the pages in good quality, making sure no part of the pages are chopped off. Email the scans to me or Luca.
The advanced way would be to do the basic way first, then post process the scans a bit so that they have good contrast, the pages are rotate so that they stand upright, and all pages are uniformly sized and cropped. This second part is what takes most of the time... I guess we could always just upload the scanned pages as they are, but the way I see if, if we're gonna do this once, let's do it right, so that the document in question is preserved nicely for all to see

Wow, It's been an age since I look around this site. Still as much fun to read all these posts as ever!
Did this ever get done as I have all the issues in my loft and always kept meaning to scan them carefully and get them posted here.
Since it seemed like I wrote nearly half the pokes for each issue and even managed to get a few very badly written reviews published in the magazine, it would be in my interest to preserve these in history!
