OK, I've now gotten 3 requests (from USA, Germany, Sweden) to make a copy
of this book available. I'm going to visit a friend of mine on Monday
March 29, who has 3 scanners. We are going to get the following things
scanned:
1) International Building Idea Book #1 (LEGO #238).
2) The entire "DER LEGO MOTOR hard cover book (LEGO #242).
3) At least 18 different 1960's Supplemental Parts Packs (including all of
the Architectural ones). These provide an interesting endless supply of
wonderful pictures.
4) The (2) LEGO Window & Door Dealer parts boxes from 1958-61.
5) Pictures of the following sets: #717 Samsonite Junior Constructor,
#725 Town Plan, #712 (Geschenkkarton) German wooden box set.
6) Hopefully ..... my new finished cathedral, which I have been working
on all last week, and is nearly done.
For the 2 books, the scans will be in a thumbnail format.
Then everyone will be free to copy it. I also do want to get a copy of
some of the above sets and items into the LUGNET database as well.
Stay Tuned.!
Gary Istok
P.S. I will still need to get my fellow Michigan(ian) Larry Pieniazek
involved in this to get it onto my website. He's a great guy (buttering
him up).
