Hi Mike -
I was joking about this to someone a few days back and asked if he had ever changed a kitchen sink faucet. If so, the first step in the instructions is "Remove Old Faucet". Flat (well - not flat) on your back, looking up with rust flakes raining down, muscles and necks cramping, and getting nowhere, you wonder why a plumber gets paid. Not for putting the new one in. Some box had a disclaimer like "This first step is going to be hard as Hell!"
I have said, several times before, that locating and preparing originals is a MAJOR project. You kind of assumed step 1! And frankly, no one else could do it. Likely fewer than half the originals are even in the right folders/envelopes, the rest being in some pile on one of the benches. My congratulations to those of you who are so much more organized than I. And even once organized, must of the originals (paste ups) are going to have to go on the glass by hand.
So that's the situation. Bleak.
But thanks for the opportunity to comment.
Bernie

I think this is a question of end-to-end closed loop perfection. I get
that. I think Mr. Hutchins wants everything to be unquestionable in the
chain leading from duplication to sale. You have to respect that.
What may work is if we all agree to put in 20 bucks each toward renting
a high speed scanner that we can bring to Mr. Hutchins and sit there
with him scanning everything he has into digital files. If the ADF is
large enough it should take no more than a few hours to scan 6000 pages
to PDF. I live in NY so I will volunteer a weekend to work on it.
Then it will take a month to catalog all the files, another two months
to clean up and assemble them into a book form.
