I recognise some of those books, some are even in the bookshelf beside
me I will be glad to scan them in, but what quality, or more to the
point what SiZe?
I have broad band so as large as you like. Then you can reduce the
quality to what you think is appropriate and have a high quality image
as a backup.
Let me know what you want.

Subject: [BBC-Micro] 270 BBC books.
That's approximately how many are now on my list... I've used
amazon.co.uk to give me lots of information (publisher/ISBN/pages etc).
Just about all those old books are in their system, probably from old
'books in print' editions? Probably added when they started doing market
place/auction stuff.
Some details are suspect and some books are listed as published by
Collins when I know they've been published by Granada, like:
- "Discovering BBC micro machine code" (Granada: A.P. Stephenson,
1983), Paperback 160 pages (November 1984), Publisher: Collins; ISBN:
0003831167
and:
- "Advanced machine code techniques for the BBC micro" (Granada: A.P.
Stephenson & D.J. Stephenson, 1984), Paperback 258 pages (January 1985),
Publisher: Collins; ISBN: 0003831507 / Paperback 258 pages (31 December,
1985), Publisher: HarperCollins; ISBN: 0246122277
Maybe a merger/takeover? But I see a book by Granada published in feb.
85, when the above book "discovering.." is published by Granada in 83
and by Collins in 1984. Hmm...
Another thing:
- "Artificial intelligence on the BBC and Electron computers: Make your
micro think", Keith Brain, Steven Brain, paperback 192 pages (17 April,
1984), Publisher: Sunshine Bks; ISBN: 094640836X
Two guys named 'Brain' writing a book on artificial intelligence? Come
on!
The list and a page with book covers (85 at the moment, better ones are
needed in most cases so send me some scans!):
