figured i should bring this up i have a vintage (published in 1980) TRS-80 BASIC booklet targeted towards educators in my possession; unfortunately it's not in the best shape however, with discoloring, some coffee stains, and pen markings inside despite this, however, i've scanned it to PDF in the best quality i could manage; if anyone could help give suggestions regarding how i could clean it up/split the pages for upload to somewhere like archive.org that would be greatly appreciated
