Well Panther, beggars can't be choosy. unfortunately this is the nature of scans made from microfiche. For some books it is fiche scan or no scan.

You shouldn't need any fiche issues of Astounding. 
I'll upload a scan.

As there is nothing worse than having only part of an 85 year-old serial and as I have compiled all the Astounding serials I've uploaded the Ray Cummings serial into the compilations section.

after an email with Mark going forward we will be steering away from fiche in general.

If I had had the paper scan handy then I never would have  considered upping the fiche version.

Paper scans are infinitely superior to fiche which is why fiche books go away when a better version comes along.

Same goes for incomplete scans, when a decent c2c scan of a book comes along there is not much point in keeping the incomplete version.

And yes, server space is not unlimited and does cost money, hence the limited ads and the asking for donations.
