Comment:	Very nice scan but not sure about cleaning up the registration tbh - scans should be authentic. Plus it makes the other Superior scans look even worse lol

Comment:	Thanks for the comment, Rob. There is no 'should' in the equation, however, only preferences. I am aware that there are those who prefer the artifacts in their untouched state, somehow feeling that is more pure than an retouched product. I am one of those for whom old, discolored paper and sloppy printing practices do not make the image more endearing. And I enjoy the editing process. If DCM wants both a raw and edited version, I am capable of publishing both, but I am not sure the site has capacity to post two versions of each book.
