It was, actually. I picked it up as a job I started some 6 months ago 
and couldn't stop until I'd finished it. Half way through I wished I 
hadn't! Extracting the greyscale pictures from the greenish background 
was difficult. I figured that if I reinserted the background as solid 
colour it would reduce the final file size. The original page designer 
didn't help me by splattering that greenish background all over the 
place. I've noticed that one or two page numbers have disappeared under 
the photos. The original moved the numbers to one side. I might get 
round to fixing that, but not just now! I could also make the Contents 
Page have hyperlinks. That'll have to wait too.

You may be able to see that the original page size is 200 x 260 mm which 
should fit neatly onto either A4 or Letter size paper without losing the 
colour bleeds at the page edge.

You're welcome to copy it to baudot.net if you like, to join the other 
Creed material.
