None of these are mine. They were downloaded mainly from several
NGs. My apologies to the OPs but I did not record their names.

When you see scans with "Sj" in it thats the name of the scanner.
I think I have the most of her.

I found my Stobart book & find a fair number I've not scanned ...

It's a coffee-table sized book (13" x 16"), bought at a used
book store years ago for the ridiculous price of $20 ...

Only problem is it's heavy, large, & requires a fair amount of
manipulation/balancing to fit onto the scanner bed so I can
get a good scan ... but it's on my To Do List

Good for you, not taking the book down to scan. Too many good books
have been destroyed such as the Audubon birds of America. An original
today if it could be found would fetch 10 million dollars or multiples
of that. I have 4 or so of those plates and most have been cropped.
They are probably worth 10 grand but if they had not been cropped
would be worth 10 times that maybe.
