Well, I can't help with the posting but here's a hint of which books
need to be looked at (at least re: D&D):
Before working at recerating scans of middling quality something ought
to be done about these first ;-)
But good luck finding any of the rare material that never got scanned
in the first place
Damaged or Incomplete Scans
------------------------------------
B10 Night's Dark Terror (Basic D&D) (bad maps in the back)
CA2 Swords of Deceit (1E) - text-only scan
DMGR1 Campaign Sourcebook (2E) - reconstructed from text & images*
FR Demihuman Deities (2E) - reconstructed from text & images
GR3 Treasure Maps (2E) - reconstructed from text & images
Greyhawk TheAdventure Begins (2E) - reconstructed from text & images
HWA1 Nightwail (Basic) - incomplete poster map
I11 Needle (1E) - reconstructed from text & images
RA1 Feast of Gobylns (2E) - reconstructed from text & images
Ravenloft Champions of the Mists (2E) - reconstructed from text &
images
Ravenloft the Evil Eye (2E) - reconstructed from text & images
TM1 Western Countries Trailmap (Basic) - incomplete poster map
TM3 The World of Krynn Trailmap (2E) - incomplete poster map
WGR3 Rary the Traitor (2E) - reconstructed from text & images
WGR5 Iuz the Evil - missing pages
* "reconstructed" means that at some point somebody OCRd the text and
just scanned the pictures (back when bandwidth was an issue), and at a
later point somebody else tried to piece it back into a book (when
bandwidth became less an issue). You get the gist of the material but
its not an actual scan and usually looks pretty poor (although bless
the scanners and reconstructors for trying.
No Scan Available (generally very rare)
