[Commons-l] I want to donate the content of a rare photography book to Wikimedia.

[Adam Cuerden]

Dear everyone.

I am in possession of a book, "The University of Glasgow Old and New".
(Partial details:
http://special.lib.gla.ac.uk/exhibns/month/july2008.html). My copy is
#22 of 50, I believe there was also a cheaper edition of 150
or 250.  I really want to make this available to Wikipedia, but need help:
The book is relatively tightly bound, and the spine gets in the way of the
scanner. I need someone with either a scanner that doesn't have a one-inch
bit of plastic between the scanner bed and the edge of the scanner, thus
cutting off the photos, or a photographer able to take high-quality photos
of the photos.

I would also like to donate copies of some very large (A0 and A1) medical
posters, from the series "Supplement to the Anatomy of Labour". These are a
bit delicate, though not ridiculously so, but I'd be uncomfortable running
them through a strip scanner. If someone has a sufficiently large flatbed,
or can take photos of them, let's do this.

Please help, I've been trying to get these to Wikipedia for 6 months now.

Thank you,
Adam Cuerden
