I agree.
The sooner we scan these old classics, the safer they will be for future generations.

Interesting list... now, some of those old PB are getting scarce. I
think a scanning project should be in order, just to preserve them, or
at least the rare ones that have never been republished (and not
likely to be, either). A fair amount of stuff should be coming out of
copyright in the next decade, if it hasn't already.
Have you guys explored Google Books and other book repositories? You
could find reading material for a lifetime, and they've barely
scratched the surface.
Of course, even more urgent is the scanning of the pulps. Now, that's
quite the task...
Best,
