    *kitsunebi edition*
    There was already a very good scan of this issue made available here, but this is my all new scan and edit.  I think it offers some improvements, but encourage you to give it a look and decide for yourself.
    Some differences include:
    slightly whiter pages more complete scan of each page from edge to edge (the older scan was presumably debound with a guillotine cutter, while this was debound with a heat gun, ensuring the entire page could be scanned) more seamless joins of images that spread across facing pages inclusion of an alternate 3-page spread of the opening fold-out ad. This ad was designed so that, after opening the cover, you would see two facing pages.  Next, you would unfold the left page, which would display two new pages that would then seamlessly become a single 3-page image along with the original right-side page.  Thus, the right-side page would essentially be seen twice - facing the original left side page, and also as part of the three-page join once the left-side page was unfolded.  Both versions are included here for the first time to simulate the intended effect of the original ad. (One of the advantages of using a CBR reader is that this will cause no problems regardless of whether you are using single or two-page viewing mode.  If you are using a PDF reader (such as Sumatra) to read your CBR files...WHY?!  Seriously, you're using the wrong type of program LOL.  As such, the intended order of facing pages may not display correctly, but what did you expect - this isn't a PDF. 😜) inclusion of scans of subscription cards inclusion of scans of included demo CD sleeve and disc (and I've uploaded the ISO of said disc HERE.) Here are a couple of comparisons showing how two-page joins in this scan are more complete.  You can see how the older version is missing information near the center of the join:


    This is just a regular page to show the slight difference in overall page coloration:

    *kitsunebi edition!*
    This is an all-new scan and upgrade to the other scan of this issue available here.  The following information is provided for the benefit of anyone unsure of which version they should download, or whether they want to replace their copy if they already downloaded the older scan.
    Improvements include:
    pages are saved at 3212 px height (around 300dpi) vs. the other scan's 2200 px (around 205 dpi) whiter whites brighter colors debound with heat gun to ensure full edge to edge scan (the other version has the gutter side of every page cropped off) images spread across facing pages are joined as seamlessly as possible more complete cover (due to a foldout ad on inside cover, part of the front cover image is actually printed on page 5 (if the pages of the foldout are counted separately).  This strip of image appears joined with the cover when the mag is closed.  This strip from page 3 has been edited together with the front cover to seamlessly show the full cover as a single image)  *see below for image comparison the aforementioned foldout ad is shown in its entirety.  This ad was designed so that, after opening the cover, you would see two facing pages.  Next, you would unfold the left page, which would display two new pages that would then seamlessly become a single 3-page image along with the original right-side page.  Thus, the right-side page would essentially be seen twice - facing the original left side page, and also as part of the three-page join once the left-side page was unfolded.  Both versions are included here for the first time to simulate the intended effect of the original ad. (One of the advantages of using a CBR reader is that this will cause no problems regardless of whether you are using single or two-page viewing mode.  If you are using a PDF reader (such as Sumatra) to read your CBR files the facing pages may not display correctly.  I strongly urge anyone still using a PDF reader to read CBRs to upgrade to a CBR reader like CDisplayEX or the alternative of your choice.) subscription cards included Comparison screenshots:
    cover/extended cover
     
    2-page joins - note the missing part of the image in the center of the older scan:


    In addition to general white/color differences, the cropping on the gutter side of the older scan is apparent even on pages that don't connect with facing pages. As you can see, the right of this page is cropped off in the older scan.  Viewing the older scan in two-page mode feels more cramped due to the lack of this gutter-side space:
