I think the point is that to work with the (excellent) brickshelf
instructions usually requires being able to print in hi res at some point.
This is not always an option.

How about a book of legends? Reprint the old contruction manuals from sets
in the 60s - 80s in one large book. Sets that you cannot/will not reissue,

Brickshelf are generally not clear enough to really use.

I have never found this to be the case, can you provide some examples?

Brickshelf scans are typically at very very high resolution. As good or
better as the print quality itself and images printed from them are as good
as any reproduction that LEGO could do would be unless you recreated all the
instruction artwork, a huge job.

In fact, I would suspect that any instruction compilation may well source
Brickshelf for some of the images as Brickshelf has better images, in some
cases, than TLC does.

Please note I love the general IDEA, just am confused about Brickshelf image
scan quality assertions you make.
