Peter,

WTF is a "long tail" approach?
As example, I have a collection of Leica Photography magazines from 1936 to 1942, which I plan to give to a member of the Leica Users Group who must pick it up in person. Some issues are bug eaten, but so what! I will not go to the trouble 
of scanning it or shipping it.

Jerry, I didn't mean for him to give it away; rather, he could exercise the "long tail" approach and make money on the multiple copies, thus making more money. - thus the suggestion for .pdf's or disks.

    Peter,

    NO!  Do you realize what a FPITA it would be to scan those hundred
    pages of Rollei esoterica so that everyone could get a free ride?

    Dave is entitled to SELL his ephemera to the first bidder, not
    give it away.

    Dave,  Have you thought of giving this treasure trove a greater
    audience and exposure by .pdf-ing the pages so that a digital
    copy could be made available to the larger Rolleiphile
    population?  Maybe this would both return you more lucre and
    allow us all to spread the cost across a wider base. Just sayin'.

        A VERY RARE FIND FOR LOVERS OF ROLLEI PHOTOGRAPHY:
        _*Photography with Rolleiflex and Rolleicord*_, a 20-page
        quarterly magazine edited by Dr. Walther Heering. I have

        1936, September and December, 1937, March and June, 1938, all
        intact. I also have March and June 1937 complete but with
        loose covers. June, September, and December 1938 are complete
        but have been bug-chewed. All are readable and pictures are
        available. $195 for all includes postage to CONUS and PayPal
        fees. My PayPal ID is djphoto@xxxxxxx
