Is there a PDF of this book anywhere? I'd love to read it...

For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, here's a copy. (http://cgi.ebay.com/System-Shock-I-C-E-Breaker-Hint-Book-Origin_W0QQitemZ180074928094QQihZ008QQcategoryZ62053QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem)

Fortunately I'm the lucky owner of two of them :)
I don't have a scanner though...

A half-decent scanner should be dirt cheap nowadays.

Still, I don't feel like buying a scanner just to scan one book, then hardly ever using it again.

I have a scanner, but I'm a bit paranoid about breaking the spine of ICE Breaker. Still, I might give it a go, but it wouldn't get done all in one day.

I tried to scan it a while back and the exact thing happened to mine. 3 pages in the middle came loose :( I could scan the maps though if interested?

Just one advice for good scanning practice:
When the paper is thin and the other side shines through, put a black sheet of paper or cardboard behind it to avoid that effect. That way you can even scan a newspaper with good results.

Good advice, and a point that I'm all too guilty of not following in the name of laziness. :erg: I really should.

There's also some technique (I have forgotten atm) to scan paperbacks without ripping them apart, (http://omanga.monkey-pirate.com/index.php?topic=2892) manga translators should know.

I've been dying to get my hands on a copy of that book for years. I'd really appreciate anyone scanning it.
