About This File
*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:
