Game Instruction Booklets
Shadowfox:
Hey there, I've been thinking....
It's really cool to see the Instruction Booklets for some of these games in PDF form, however, when you print them out, they don't look the same as the original booklet.
Now I know, this might be overkill for most people, but I think it would be AMAZING if we would scan them in and clean them up like we do for the cases. Something like this:

If someone was willing to do the touch up work on the booklets I'll scan all mine in. :)
I'm just throwing it out there... ;)

I think he means to take the scans and make the text vector and clean up the images
I have considered this but in the long run it really is not worth the time, effort, or the money. If you print out 25 pages for a GBA manual at even $.50 a pop you're still out around $12. Times that buy even 10 games and then you're out $120. As far as Gameboy/GBA games are concerned you can't even fit them in the DS case so really it kind of defeats the purpose for even having that manual.
The reason the example you provided looks so good is because that manual is most likely directly from Square. They probably sent Nintendo the final document they used when printing their manuals.
Shadowfox, I'm not trying to put your idea down or anything, but I just don't think people have the time to take something like that on considering it's not something that a large majority of people would even care about.
If you have a few games that you just HAVE to have done or else you'll die I'm sure someone can help you out, but to go through an entire catalog of games is simply unrealistic.

I dissagree with you there. An exacto knife and 2 minutes of your time and you can fit manuals beautifully.

Hi I'm not completele in objection with you shadowfox it's true that the manuel can be real bitches when it comes to printing not because of the fact that people don't fix them up but more in a way that they usually scan it(example in a manuel of 14 pages+cover+back) cover-back, 1-2, 3-4... but they should scan it cover-back, 1-14, 2-13... so that when you come to stapple time its perfect. I thought maybe I would do an FAQ on how to scan with printing result
