Ahh, a good start.

The problem is, TMU mags I have are pretty poor quality - the few I
could afford to buy as a kid are very well read!  Unofortunately, that
means they're not in a great condition for scanning ... :(

How long does it take to scan a volume?  or a single mag?  I wonder if
it might be possible to organise an event where someone brings a stack
along and everyone else turns up with a scanner and gets started?  I'd
be happy to turn up for that, and have a USB scanner ...

Peter.
