The thing is I am not trying to scan them and put them out online, that has already been done here. Some of the books are over a decade old and were obviously not designed to last that long. It saddens me, when am afraid to turn the pages of some of them, because they will fall apart in my hands. I have a century old poem book, that is in better condition than some of them. If I could I would buy new versions of the books, but I can't because they are no longer in print. I am trying to provide a way, to renew the books that are getting to the point, where they can no longer be read. I could buy another online but I have no guarantee that they will be in any better shape than the ones I have. And I would much prefer to have the books in my hands rather than read from a screen. Finally, I have always been very shy and that is the reason I never joined the site. So I want the first thing I do here to benefit others, and help me get to know the community. I want to share what I love with others and give others the chance to read some of the stories they missed out on. No one is going to get hurt, or lose money if this is done, and in the end we will be helping to preserve the stories. P.S. I do appreciate your concern, but Lego seems to be fine with people freely sharing what media came from the first generation. If we can freely share all the games, videos and comics from the first gen, why should the books be any different.
