  I suggest that BrickLink add an area to the site for scans of printed catalogs.
There are other fan sites that already do this, but the results vary. This
would be a useful feature that would compliment the BrickLink catalog, enable
more effective catalog/inventory work, and draw more visitors to the site. Plus,
there would never be questions about copyright because TLG is publishing the
data themselves.

If this was done, I would add scans of my extensive Dacta/Education catalog collection.
Nearly all of the catalogs in my collection would only be available as scans
on BrickLink.

Thanks for considering it.

Great idea. It would be even better if they could be transcribed and made searchable.
Or even a list attached with the sets that appear in it.

Completely agree. I've been looking at some scanning companies in anticipation
of possibly (and professionally) scanning my E&D catalog collection and they
offer these services. It would be most helpful to know without going through
an entire catalog if the set you're looking for appears therein.
