If Csabo wants to type in the entire content to HTML your welcome to. But as the page you referenced indicates, pdf is not great for web browsing - in fact basically a pain unless you save as and read the document as just that a document. However, since I have hard copies of the manual and the 'C16 Machine Language for the absolute beginner' book has tables and diagrams and font changes... a scan is just that - a scan of the original book - it takes a lot more work to get it all formated and nice as a html manual. Hence if I provide the book as a scaned pdf... then anyone can run them through the most advanced OCR technology and turn them into lovely manuals in whatever format they see fit. More to the issue - how do I get these book to someone who get can them on this site... when I get them scanned... Does anyone have a ranking of importance - personally I feel the Melbourne house C16 machine language book is by far the most valuable.
