Absolutely. Better to have 52 pages than none.

Yoc · « **Reply #251 on:** February 13, 2009, 06:31:05 AM »

These are RARE books Rez!
So yes, PLEASE do share it!

rez · « **Reply #252 on:** February 18, 2009, 06:25:03 PM »

Since there's not a lot of these around I want to place as much data on the title page as possible involving the book.

STAR RANGER #4, 1937 Large Size, Ultem Publ./Centaur Publications
Unfortunately I'm working from a 14 yearold Overstreet guide.

What other data might be added to the page?
Thanks

That's STAR RANGER #4, from 1937, a 64-pager.

What else do you want?

rez · « **Reply #254 on:** February 18, 2009, 06:49:23 PM »

Well, not so much what I want as much as what the more experienced readership think should be placed on there. Any pertinent data I suppose. Similar to what Grand Data will include. I sent a PM to JVJ to see if he might be able to preview the pages and supply something along the lines of his index card info.

Heritage doesn't have a cover available and it's missing the three outer wraps except for probably a single leaf from one of those wraps which is ripped and mangled. I will iron that page out and include it as a matter of principle.

Here are my notes on Star Ranger #4 from the copy I perused at Fairleigh-Dickenson Univ. in 1984:
Star Ranger 6/37
(indicia data from issue #3 - 5/37 is:
Centaur Pubs Inc. / 420 DeSoto / editorial at 276 5th Ave, NYC, NY / Kenneth Fitch - Managing Editor)
Note: since I didn't add similar information for #4, only two possibilities occur to me: 1. issue 4 was coverless or 2. the information was the same. - wish I knew which after 25 years....
At Sunset ("by Will Harr") by Bob Jenny??? 1 page

Hope that helps.

Well ya! snorK*
Thanks.

When searching for the loose page, which ended up being right in front of me all the while, I found the remains of the, well, what was the other half of the loose wrap which means besides missing the covers it is short 2 1/4 wraps instead of 3.

Coming Soon, to that theater near you. All in Color, and for Less than a Dime.

by the way, there is a centerfold splash page in the book. I have seen some here do a fantastic job joining the 2 pages to a single large panel and I don't think I have it in me to do it.

Might there be someone here who would be willing to take on the work of joining the two centerfold pages?

JonTheScanner · « **Reply #258 on:** February 19, 2009, 01:48:24 AM »

I can do it for you if you wish. You can email me the images at JIngersoll5 (at) comcast (dot) net and I'll do it. I might not get to oit until Friday.

For anyone, the basic secret (in Photoshop) is to use the ruler tool to first make sure each part is absolutely straight. Put the ruler tool along the top or bottom border and type alt-I E A (Image, rotate, arbitrary) then hit {enter} to rotate the image so it's straight.

Once both halves are straight, enlarge the canvas (not image) size of one image so both halves will fit. Copy the other image and paste it into the enlarged image. Set the opacity of this layer to 50% so you can see the other image underneath. Then move the top image until they align perfectly.

Reset teh opacity back to 100% and flatten the image so the two layers merge. Then save the image.

With yours and Braister's uploads it was a "Centaur" night.

Looks like the years of buying boxes of the coverless, loose covers and loose pages wasn't such a bad idea after all. Kinda wondered what was in those:o

Got this thing going on with the Duke since my first intro into scanning
