Question:
Wouldn't it be possible to have the photos included in a digital data base
that is accessible on line, and keep printing the books without the photos?
That would keep the books inexpensive, and still allow the photos to be
part of the data base. I know it would take considerably more storage
space, but for now, computer space is cheap. I also realize that a digital
image, or any other sort of image is going to be somewhat inaccurate, but
this is something anyone looking at the photo should be aware of, if
they've ever taken or copied a picture themselves. The image would still
be very useful. To expound a tiny bit more on the value of photos; even
old black and white images, as long as they are clear, are valuable, and
they show details that no verbal description can relate.
