I am similarly nervous about scanning the pages, as such a potent exposure to light may be similarly destructive, however I do agree it should be saved or preserved somehow. I'll have to think it over further. As for your concerns regarding Age instabilities Mr. Lord, I must admit I hadn't even considered it, which could have proved disasterous to my work (and indeed my health!) Thank you very much for your advice, both of you. However Mr. Lord, your words have sparked a serious realisation in me..

I’ll have to think it over further.

May I recommend that you take some high resolution scans of the book. Most comercial scanners can accomplish this and I wouldn't be surprised if William has one you can make use of.

I would express a great deal of caution when copying passages from other Books, my recent experiments with Sul proved somewhat hazardous and I had to go back and rewrite parts of the Book after some contradictions sprang up causing Age stability problems. However with the care and patience you are applying to Luminesce I have no fears, I was a little hasty with Sul, to quick to experiment and try new ideas, I learned that lesson well.
