I really wouldn't mind most of those books! Be it on the web or via CD or DVD disc, I would love a copy of them! Some of those would be hard to come by!
Cheers
Chris

Update:
Got another mail today. The resolution should only be 72 dpi. Can you resize the PDFs without having to re-scan everything Primarch? Unfortunately there's no update on exactly what they want.
...perhaps we could make a vote here for what articles people want to see?
Cheers!

I can't do it....
Files get compressed from 115 MB for Armies of the Imperium to 30MB at 72 DPI, B&W.
Not that these CDs were ever at my house - figmant of my imagination 
Don't wanna sound heretical in any way shape or form by doesn't Jervis just link to the NetEPIC files? They are pretty close and small downloads....

I think the main thing of interest is some of the old pics from old WD articles, battlereports, scenarios, painting guides and stuff.
The big problem is really that these are all full scans ie. one giant image on each page. If the images are cut out and pasted into a new document and the text rewritten/extracted (using a program that can do that) the files will become much smaller. OTOH a full army book is much larger than your normal WD article so perhaps the size is usable for those as is? (i hope that made any sense... not sure I understand what I just wrote myself  )
Cheers!

Hi!
I have no problem rescanning the everything in 72 dpi, but I do need to WHAT does he want.
If you can get a straight answer from Jervis I can oblige.
On a side note is there any way of re-sizing the files?

See ... us old timers are good for something besides talking about the "good old days" ! 
Glad to see that some of the old fluff & stuff is going to be around. This is a worthy project ...
