Q & A: Thumbnails & eBooks

Answers to some questions I’ve received:

  • The thumbnails of pictures embedded in the PDFs are not high resolution and do not scale well at all when you zoom in on them for detail. But not to worry. The original photos are all in high resolution and will be zoomable in the final electronic version of things.
  • I am tracking eBook editions and intend to include them in a separate section called N-items.

    Are these photos all from your personal collection? Are there items that you do not have and need scans for?

      Yes, all photos so far are from my collection. But a few draft pages I will post soon will have photos of a few books that I don’t have. One is A3 Два пути [Dva puti]. The sole extant copy I’m aware of is held by the Cornell University Library. I have only a photocopy of its title page. I own A6 Горный путь [Gornii put’], but without its cover. And I don’t have a copy or photo of the wrappered variant of A7 Аня в стране чудес [Anna/Alice in Wonderland]. I can only assume that it is, other than for its binding, exactly like the variant bound in boards. There may be a few other off-hand variants of A-items I can’t think of right now. I’ll let readers know when I come across them in case someone can supply me with a photo. I will need help when I begin to post D-items—translations by others. I have many; but it is impossible to track down all of them. Again, I’ll let everyone know.
