Once permission is granted for classicamiga to host each book in PDF format as part of the ARBLA project it will be scanned in and converted into a PDF version. A copyright/permission disclaimer from the original publisher/author of each publication will be included with each PDF before they can be allowed to be uploaded and published on ARBLA.
