Do I dare ask you to remove the staple and scan the manuals paper by paper, so one could print them, stack them and re-staple to produse replica pf the original manual? [Roger Rabbit sounding] PRRLEEEEASE.

As I said in another post previously, if someone makes something available it should be accepted no matter how it is done. If they want to run the risk of damaging the manual by removing staples etc that is fine but it is their decision and theirs alone. That's assuming it is indeed a stapled manual in the first place.
Given that they would then have to edit the pages manually to create a version readable as a electronic manual I cannot but wonder whether the work involved doing what you ask is worth it for one or two persons benefit at best?

Yeah, I remember that post.
I tried what you suggested, but using paint (the only graphics program I have) the quality was poor.
But since he is anyway scanning his manuals, it was worth the try get them scanned the way I need.

ouch lol I dont know if I can do that, all my manuals are in the Near Mint - Mint catagory, and since I collect carts and manuals since I found this awesome site, im not sure if I can bite that bullet.
If I can say though, most NES manuals you can find in the wild for .50 or a dollar. Even on ebay you can find a bunch of manuals in a "lot" or just find them cheap. Go to a flea market and ask if they have any NES manuals half the time they have like 50-100 and they only want 50 cents each for them... If I get my hands on a more rare manual like Gun-Nac or Flintstones S@DP etc.. I will def take the stable out and make them availible to anybody...
Also I am more than happy to return favors on here, If someone can make me say a box I need for the NES I would be happy to scan a box or maybe 3 NES manuals for it, staple out and all, didnt know if any of you guys do that?

If you take the staple out, you could manual restaple it by carefully putting the staple throw the two wholes and bending them inward couldn't ya?
