I have personally bought all of the CDRoms for Iowa censuses from 1850-1920. They cost me $19.95 each--right now they have a buy two, get one free that wasn't offered when I bought. I would say the quality is excellent. There is one census, and I believe it's 1900, that seems to be dark on the last several lines of each page. I keep telling myself that I'm going to look at the copy at the Archives to see how it compares, but I haven't. It has been really been wonderful having the copies at home so that I can look any time.
