They look so-so on my 24-bit, 100 dpi Iris screen too.  For a while, I
was trying to put together my own lyrics booklet for
_This_)Woman's_Work_ incorporating color scanned images, but most of
the pictures in the archives don't cut it when viewed on anything but
the screen.

I would take the time to scan in some hi-res, 24-bit TIFF files for
the archives, but unfortunately I don't have anything special to scan,
such as back issues of the _Kate_Bush_Club_Newsletter_ or the
Convention programme.  I also don't know if the archive has enough
disk space to hold them.

Is there any demand for high-res, true-color scans of KT pics?  Keep
in mind that they will be large, and in TIFF instead of GIF format
(GIF can only handle 8-bit pictures).
