<snip it all> Thus electronic storage / scanning is probably the best alternative all else considered. Everyone here can hope another like-minded soul will be there to do what needs to be done when opportunity awaits
I saved a healthy run of early popular electronics mags from the wilmington, delaware library a few years ago. If I haddn't randomly happenend to have been there... I assume pop electr are all online, but ultimately it's about cost benefit of storage. As far as places like ManualsPlus and other for-profit libraries, many I am sure were killed in part by free digital copies on the web.. i.e. we who archive and post copies for free have our role in what became of the for-profit library business. I remember Jason Scott was very involved in rallying volunteers to save what could be saved at ManualsPlus, a lot was thus saved by Jason. Some of it passed through vcfed.org club I think. Bill
