Re: Apple II developer reference rescanning question

["PZ" <skierpaul@yahoo.com>]

I am in need of an Apple IIc 2nd Edition Reference, and possibly a
Toolbox v.III ref.  If you offered a value added service of having the
reprints bound (choice of hole punched or bound at an additional cost)
then I'd be inclined to buy more.  I don't currently own any of the
reprints, but I think that the 70% discount is very fair and people
would take you up on it.

Something that may be of value is a high quality scan of just the
schematics for the //e, //c and GS's.  I know that there are some scans
circulating online, but if they were offered in a more legible, large
format (11x17), and of higher quality, I think they would sell.
