Kirby the Multi Book Scanner

[lb_lee]

Mori: one nice thing about moving: we are now closer to the big central library (and its book scanner)!

That library has in-library use only copies of Oneselves, and Trance Possession in Bali. I plan to scan them both come Monday, along with a better scan of Living With Your Selves and any other never-digitized multi book of interest I can procure. The files will be bulky unscreenreadable PDFs, but at least they'll exist! If you have any requests for a multi book you find in the bpl.org catalog, let me know! (Oh jeez, I just realized I could do that for that crummy gay multi boy's love manga too. I dunno, I feel weirder doing it for works of fiction that came out semi-recently. Maybe stick to nonfiction.)

Unfortunately, I only had ten minutes on the scanner today, so all I managed to get done was the super-short United We Stand, by Eliana Gil. Will upload that with whatever I get done Monday.

Looking forward to it!

At least a good quality scan can be made image to text, though I'm not sure how you go about doing that, I just know people have done it for old scanned pdfs, like the old editions of D&D

I did some research into it because I was going to scan some things to go on archive.org, but I haven't followed up much yet

Go Kirby go!!
Multi books are awesome and most of the ones you mention are new to us.
