I've had the POD scan for a while, and I finally took a chance on the hardcopy because my original is on its last legs. The quality of this POD is excellent. If you have an original to compare it to, you will notice that the pencil drawings are just a little fuzzy, and the map symbols on pages 228-229 and 232-233 are light because of the red ink used on the original. But these are minor details - the overall quality of this reprint is just as good as the book I've had on my bookshelf since 1993. Well done. (And as an added bonus, I received it only two weeks after I ordered it.)
