Manuals and Publications

You've come home from the hamfest with that nice used scanner, but can't figure out how to make it work, and there's no user manual. Try taking a look at some of the resources below. Some charge for a copy, others are free. If anyone finds any additional sources of catalogs online, please add them here.

In addition, there are a few publications - some of them online- that discuss scanning as all or part of their coverage, and are linked here.
