Hi folks,
I recently won a 7777 Idea Book at auction. Even though it's a
bit worn, it has been good to have the book to look at, since
many of the illustrations and pictures span two pages. (While
this works well in books, the online scans split these images
up by saving each page as a seperate image.)
So, since I've found things while looking at the book that I
missed in the scanned images, I'll be bringing my 7777 to the
Carlsbad Get-Together, so other folks can leaf through it. :-)
No, I'm not interested in selling it. :-)
And, Many Thanks to the folks who have contributed older LEGO
instructions for scanning, and especially to those few folks who
are doing all of the scanning! Thanks again!

David, congrats on your win!
I just got a really nice HP 895C color printer. Has anyone attempted to
build their own 7777 book using the online scans?
I'm wondering how many ink cartridges it will take to print all the pages,
full size at the highest quality on glossy paper.
It is projects like this that make my wife think I'm crazy.

Well, the original pages are A4 (a bit taller, and slimmer, than our
8.5" x 11" pages in the States ;-). And the scans are also large, so
you might find that the top/bottom would need to be cropped a bit, or
you may need to reduce the image a few percent.
If you can take the entire 2-page images, reduce it by ~60%, you
could probably fit it on a single A4 or 8.5 x 11 page. Just a thought.
