Hi Nagaeyari.
The scan tests aren't good enough IMHO.
The binding can survive to some, but hardly for the
whole book. I'm planning to take High Resolution
photos with a Canon digital reflex. Quicker and
safer for the book but much greater to share.
Hereunder a map scanned today :
Suggestions ? Any news about the professors ?

Sadly, no new news about the professors. I'm waiting for one more professor to reply and he's taking his time--I'm sure the start of the Fall semester has him swamped.
The picture is almost clear enough to read (it's a distribution map of bronze fishhooks, arrowheads, and one other item that I can't read--it's too fuzzy) for my own personal tastes, but to preserve or to use for study, taking pictures with a camera may be the best idea.
I took pictures of many of the pages of Nihon Kofun Daijiten with my digital camera. What's nice about using a camera is that the picture can be zoomed multiple times with no decrease in picture quality (because most cameras are several megapixels).
I leave for a college with a good Japanese library and a sizable history faculty in around 12 days. I hope to research more then.
Until that time, I'll be trying to get those two replies we talked about. Off to make some emails.

Yes, I've noticed that zooming in the kanji begin
fuzzy... My camera has 8 megapixel. With a tripod
I can take pics of 2 pages each shot with enough
quality for a good zoom in, I think.
I'm near holydays and major reapairs on my home, but this will be surely next test.
would you prefer a whole written page as next test
or this same page for comparison ?

Now that we've tried a picture/map page, sure, let's try a full text page.
No rush! Please enjoy your holidays! And..uh...enjoy the house repairs?

If I think at how many swords I would have purchased
with the same money...

Oh.. I don't know. I use a Canoscan lide 600F.
But I now realize that the problem is posting thru
photobucket. Nagaeyari needs the originals.
We're working on this, possibly thru bittorrent.
