Original electronic Scanned image These products were created by scanning an original printed edition.
Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.
The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background. For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book.
We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

However, as I remarked elsewhere, they are inconsistent about the length of the combat round from one page to the next! In four years of trying! I think it is unfortunate that original customers are expected to buy a completely new edition just to keep up with the original errata.
I think many people will already be turned off by the original printing. There is nor enough new material to warrant buying a new book: a few extra pictures. The index is nice but is only helpful for a printed edition which will undoubtedly cost more than the original edition.
