And there was much rejoicing...

I've just received a message from House of Fraser which authorizes me to reproduce as much of the 1939-40 Army and Navy store catalogue as I like. They're not sure if they still own the copyright, but have said I can use it anyway if they do.

My feeling on this is to go for a representative assortment of pages, with an emphasis on equipment for adventurers; guns, cameras, medical, clothing, etc.

Any suggestions on things I should be looking at? Bearing in mind that the catalogue is more than 1000 pages and I sure as hell can't put the whole lot on line.

That would definitely still be in copyright, unfortunately, although Intel might have said OK if you asked.

It was more for my own records than to publish it; I passed the catalogue onto an academic who was interested in the early history of microprocessors.
