receive a large boxful from your parents generally means something bad : They ’ve solve out all your stuff from their cellar and now you have to find a place for it , or it ’s a misplaced caution package that ’s only three years past its sell - by date . For one SF lover , however , that package contained the geek motherlode : More than 100 scifi mush magazines ranging from the thirties ahead .
The fan , Val Lindsay , explicate all on the Whitechapel message display board :
My dad direct me this ammo crate without assure me about it . In this crateful are approximately 100 + sci fi pulps ranging from the 70 to the 30 … I cerebrate my immediate goal will be corrupt a good scanner and get the covers on a unvoiced drive . As far as the book and contents , I ’m not sure to the honorable course of action . They range from decent to fall down - aside in shape .
It ’s not just the covers that Val is looking to save , either :
I ’ve been consider of a way to transcribe these Book into test files and I call back I ’ve find a elbow room to kill two birds with one Harlan Fisk Stone . As it is , I plan to read these books . Handling them has take some ‘ life ’ back into them , but not enough flexibility for scans . So I ask for your opinions / experience ; What is the best interpreter recognition software package at the consequence ? I would n’t have any qualm reading these books ‘ aloud ’ to transcribe them .
Val is quite distinctly doing the Sci Fi Lord ’s own piece of work with this project , and we here drink him for the sterling work . Many , many more covers are viewable on the Whitechapel board at the link below .
