A local print shop took one of Holmes books and scanned it, added the Moldvay basic pdf I purchased from D&D classics, and then made high res scans for the covers which completed a coil bound book.

That's pretty awesome. Can they print up another now that they've done it once?
ReplyDeleteStephen Newton ..yes. I've saved the files in case I want another made. Basically I took one (of several) copies that i own of a Holmes book, they PDF scanned it, took the PDF of Moldvay I had purchased, and the cover images I found via google images.Not sure the type of paper they printed it on, but very thick and seems it will hold up. They high res scan and printed the covers and laminated. And coil bound for easy page turning. Any local print shop in your area should be able to do the same. I know a lot of people use "chain store printers" etc, but we have none here and I prefer a locally owned business anyway. They usually do it with pride and the product comes out better. Hope that helps!
ReplyDeleteTony T would you mind DM'ing me the name of your store. I'll just have them do one for me and mail me a copy. My Holmes book stays in the box now, :)
ReplyDeleteStephen Newton ..are you wanting the Holmes only, and not Moldvay too?
ReplyDeleteYeah, just Holmes. Mostly for the nostalgia of having a hardcopy I can read without fear of messing up the pages.
ReplyDeleteStephen Newton gotcha...let me check with them on Monday and see if they will. they're doing something else for me so i need to go by there anyway..
ReplyDeleteCool - thanks so much. I can paypal them some cash or some such thing.
