Wow, thanks everyone, I had no idea
it was so difficult.


It looks so easy in Bladerunner and CSI.

Yes, I have the original B&W print
and it was I that scanned it
into a JPEG.

If it is OK to post a binary in
this newsgroup I will post it
tommorow.

Under no circumstances post a binary to a discussion group. It will be dropped on the floor by most servers. And where it isn't you will be inundated with abuse reports. Please put it on a website or if you must post it to alt.binaries.something_or_other and then post a link here.

A small representative section say 256x256 saved as a PNG file will do. But quite honestly unless it is very high quality and almost resolving the characters on the spine of the book you really don't stand a chance.

White text on a black book spine is slightly easier than black on white.
