:="" en-ie="">THE FAR FUTURE…<o:p></o:p>

:="" en-ie="">It is said that this planet was once green and full of life. They also say that a great civilization stretched across the entire globe. We can never be sure, for all we know of this forgotten civilization comes from the crumbling ruins that lie buried deep beneath the sands of the wastes. 

:="" en-ie="">It is said that civilization was destroyed, not in a single apocalyptic war, but in an endless stream of small ones. The world turned barren, not because of a massive cataclysm, but a slow poisoning from radiation and toxic waste. The population was devastated, not by a single plague, but multiple pandemics brought on by diseases that were once curable. So came about the end of the old world. The legacy of this ancient civilization was a long dark age of violence, economic ruin, starvation, and disease. 

:="" en-ie="">Out of the darkness came the rise of the warlords, invincible masters of the old technologies. Under their reign, a new age has begun. This is the age of the mega cities, standing defiantly against the horrors of great wastes. The world has entered an era of technological rebirth and unimaginable savagery. Along with the rediscovery of ancient technologies have come horrific new uses for this knowledge. Human experimentation is commonplace and life is held cheap by those in power.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
