Booklet scans
I have four little books which would probably interest many people here. Scans of front covers attached.
I'm willing to scan these and upload them either here or in a public Dropbox folder, but does anyone know what the copyright position is? As far as I have been able to determine they have all been out of print for some time. For reference, they are:

Re: Booklet scans
Two and Three [as listed ie Pye and Television] were offered for sale recently. The others are new to me. Copyright always attracts a lot of comment. I doubt anyone would be concerned but "other opinions will be available". Personally, especially on a one to one request, I would be inclined to just go ahead.

Re: Booklet scans
The worst thing that can happen is that someone owning or claiming to own the copyright asks for the material to be removed from wherever it's posted.
I can only remember this happening once in the history of the forums.

Re: Booklet scans
Copies of all these books are available, but only second hand and mostly at silly prices. I'll go ahead and when they are done I will invite anyone who wants a copy to contact me for web link.

Re: Booklet scans
I would also like to have an electronic "spacial backup" of these. Thanks for taking the time doing this.

Re: Booklet scans
Scans of two booklets (Pye and 50 yrs of TV) can already be found on the internet.
