Is there a properly digitized PDF available anywhere? I appreciate what http://thestandardsmanual.com/ http://thestandardsmanual.com/ is doing here, but their hover-photo-to-zoom thing is hard to read.
- peterjmag 11y agoNot a proper scan, but still pretty decent: https://daringfawnyball.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/nyctamanual.pdf https://daringfawnyball.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/nyctaman... via http://blog.fawny.org/2013/02/19/nycmta1970/ http://blog.fawny.org/2013/02/19/nycmta1970/
- ademarre 11y agoNice. It looks like that PDF is made from the full-size images from http://thestandardsmanual.com/ http://thestandardsmanual.com/. I was about to extract them myself until you pointed to this PDF. Thank you. Did anyone else notice that ALL of the full-size images are pre-loaded with http://thestandardsmanual.com/page.html http://thestandardsmanual.com/page.html ? According to Chrome's Dev. Tools that's 378 requests for 109 MB!

- avn2109 11y agoIt really does seem like a total design-hipster move to build a silly rollover-centric UX without an obvious way to just get the pdf.
