  1. John,
    Thank you for this; I only had part of this article, and needed it. I notice, especially on page 398 of the Handyman laying carpet, that your scanner software does what mine did until I turned off the option: it tries to distinguish line from tone, and converts part of a page into line leaving the rest in halftone. I prefer to adjust the image by hand in order to get consistent results.

  2. I too and a huge fan of A.B. Frost and the rest of his talented family since discovering that he was buried at Laurel Hill Cemetery in Philadelphia, where I am a volunteer tour guide. I even did a video podcast about him which you can see at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rb4rPLwliB8&t. Eventually I will do a real podcast on him, but without being able to see "Our Cat Takes Ray Poison," it will be difficult indeed.
