English Amiga Board - View Single Post - REQ: Amiga Format Issue 19 February 1991 Game ads

Seems like this is probably the best place to make a thread about my small and inconvenient problem...

I am currently removing all the game ads from my AF magazines for HOL and I came across something a little unusual. The above mentioned issue is missing pages 99-130 and in it's place they have doubled up on pages 131-154

All I need to know is, if there are any game ads (from the publishers) within these pages and if so would anyone be so kind in scanning (preferably photographing) them and passing them on. I don't expect anyone to do anything else but to scan/photograph them as I already have my own process to straighten, rotate, align and fix etc myself. Also the higher the res the better, 3000px High would be perfect.

My preference of photographing them is because It prevents the nasty interference caused by the magazines dot pitch and as I have almost perfected my technique, I can produce some pretty good reproductions.

Have a look here at the first two miscshots http://hol.abime.net/924/miscshot

Anyway, any help would be extremely appreciated

EDIT: Forgot to mention, I am also creating .pdf's of all those ads per magazine, with my own (Sort of) front, back and index page. All ads are in there original order in the mag with reference to there original page numbers. This is the main reason to why I am asking, it's because I feel that this particular mag may be incomplete.
