Rawhide 15
Won Rawhide Kid 4 tonight for $15 plus shipping.
Rawhide 15 is in the repository.
I wasn't very good at math in school, but if there are 11 people involved in this group and some of the files have been downloaded 14 times, I'd say at minimum we have 4 new guests! Don't be shy, outsiders! Feel free to pop into the comments and say hi.
I'll probably scan Two Gun Kid and Tex Taylor this week, but I'm going to need someone to edit. My raws are big and sloppy, so download the test file I put up and see if you're up for the task and let me know.
Also, this 4shared place is picky about filenames. I updated the scan_project and scan_project_checklist files, but even though I deleted the originals I can't rename the new files, so they'll be dated from now on.

Project #1: Rawhide Kid (continued)
Okay, to keep everyone up to date, here's a recap of what's going on.
First, we have another new member, bringing our total membership to 11. In keeping with tradition, I won't reveal his more common "handle" unless it's something he's OK with. He's posted a reply to this thread, but not under his usual name.
(A few people have asked me what the deal is with this, and I explain it this way: participation in this group is always assumed to be anonymous unless you explicitly state otherwise. It's not necessary to post here under your "known" handle, although if I don't recognize you I may send you an email to find out who you are. It's not that we're involved in SUPER SECRET SPY STUFF SHHHH!, but not everyone wants to deal with the hassle of getting grilled by outsiders or griefers, etc.
Although identities may be hidden, finances are not. I will always keep everyone informed of how much money I have collected and exactly where it has been spent and/or recouped. Anyone participating in this project has the absolute right to demand accountability at any moment. This is your money you've all entrusted me with, and I promise you all complete transparency.)
Anyway, Project #1 is almost complete, here's where we stand:
Rawhide Kid #17 ($133) - scanned, distributed to members, in the process of recouping our money on this. Sorry about the vagueness here, email me for details if you need them.
-----
Rawhide Kid #19 ($60) - scanned, distributed to some members, currently trying to unload it on ebay.
-----
Ringo Kid Western #11 ($8) - scanned, distributed to some members, haven't tried to resell it yet.
-----
Rawhide Kid #15 ($40) - Purchased, paid for, still waiting for it to arrive
Total collected: $330
Total spent so far: $241
Total recouped so far: $0
Balance: $89
A final note about distribution: This isn't meant to be some elite squad. I want to see these books distributed publicly. I only ask that members refrain from passing them around too widely until we have recouped on each book. The only way this project can work long-term is if we can get most of our money back, and giving the book contents away for free isn't the best way to do that :)

Project #1: Rawhide Kid (Revised)
Rawhide Kid #15
Rawhide Kid #17
Rawhide Kid #19
Ringo Kid Western #11
We had three new people contribute to the "cause" (Thanks Mal32 & his Italian friends!), which gave us a bigger budget. There are now 10 people who have contributed.
I mentioned bidding on the Rawhide Kid 15 and people seemed open to it, so I bid and won one yesterday. The total was $40, so the project right now has spent $241 of its $300 "budget".
I'll leave the floor open, as it were, for people to suggest a) what to buy with the leftover money and b) start thinking ahead to the next project.
I believe RK17 has been distributed to everyone, but if you did not get it, get in touch with me ASAP and I can give you either a Megaupload link or share it with you in the one of the hubs.
As mentioned before, it will be publicly shared once I sell the original on eBay. I got sidelined with a nasty bug on Sunday, but I hope to get it listed on Tues.

Project #1: Rawhide Kid
The first project will be:
Rawhide Kid #17
Rawhide Kid #19
Ringo Kid Western #11
The cost of these three books including shipping was $201 (RK17, $133; RK19, $60; RKW11, $8). (The Ringo Kid Western was added into it because it could ship for free with the Rawhide Kid 19.) I have already bought and paid for these books.
There are currently 7 participants in this round. I will not post handles of participants unless people agree it's OK.
Everyone's share will be $30. This is adding $1 which Paypal will deduct from your payment to me.
You can paypal the money to me via the email address found in my profile on the right.
I will post comments to keep people updated on the status. Feel free to post your own comments, questions, etc.
