i can see why you're excited about that book, the illustrations are gorgeous. it's a shame you don't have a scanner, it would be really great to include them in the ebook.

The illustrator is a pretty famous American artisit too. Did a painting of the signing of the Constitution (I knew I remembered that name when I saw it, then I remembered him from Antiques Roadshow).

And the cover artist (Margaret Armstrong) who also did the borders is also apparently famous in her own right

Open the pdf file from the Internet Archive and use the snapshot tool to save the illustrations as images. Then you can edit and re-size them in whichever photo-editing software you happen to favour.

Liliac and Patricia, I have an Optiscan 3600 and my humble self available for scanning the images if desired.....(Book return guaranteed).

In Acrobat, select the illustrations and copy and paste, if they're separate from the rest of the text (I haven't looked at this particular PDF). Not that there's anything wrong with taking screenshots, but you might actually get a higher resolution image with copy/paste.

On that site the whole book is scanned (although it is slightly different from mine- the border around each page is different.

That's ok lilac_jive. After you've opened the pdf scan you can experiment with either taking a screenshot or using the snapshot tool in Adobe Acrobat.

For the snapshot tool, there's a liitle camera image on the acrobat toolbar. Or use the "print screen" button somewhere on the top right of your computer. Then you can find and edit the resulting images.

Time must pass more slowly in the Lounge (or in MR in general) than elsewhere. Neko's dragons are growing quickly -- and one of them is described as taking 1000 to 2000 years to reach maturity. Does time travel faster in dragon land than it does here??

Also, "RIGHT NOW" I'm wondering about this ad my iPhone displays for some "free but sponsored" programs. I'm not sure quite what is being advertised --- but mixing axes and private parts doesn't seem such a good idea.

Really? Disgusting? (I have no idea what they are selling -- I figured it was a soap). Is it a fragrance or something? Or don't I want to know?

Its a mans fragrance, but the commercials are way over the top for me.........seriously, the boys (and they are boys) spray themselves with this stuff, and immediately the girls fall all over themselves to get at them.
Now this ad on your page show an actual device to get the 'man parts' clean? I never realized it was that hard!

desertgrandma · 01-15-2009, 04:49 PM

Or maybe its a scented soap designed to look like a device of some sorts.......

Oh my God I gotta get outta here............

Well, it isn't that hard, unless there are two of you in the shower, and SHE has the soap. Then it does get harder.

But we're not going there ..... we're trying to figure out what these idiots are advertising!!!
