I have a copy of this book:

It appears to be from around 1979, and is chock full of part numbers
and specs for hundreds of DEC products of the time, including rack
parts, documentation kits, and even the DECMat carpet :)
I would really like to get this book scanned, OCR'd and available to
DEC collectors. My questions are: Has this guide, or one close to it,
already been scanned? How rare are these guides? Does anyone out
there have one?
I would have to at least remove the binding in order to scan it (and
at 140 pages I'm not going to mash each half-page against the scanner
glass.) I'd really hate to destroy a book like this. If I'm careful,
I can drill holes in the whitespaces, razor off the edge binding, and
reassemble it as ringbound.
