Thanks for the info, and that's a good point (not being in a hurry). Many of these pictures are in quite good condition considering their age (70-100 years old), so I suppose that avoiding rushing this is probably prudent, and certainly not harmful. Is this Reilly book still in print?

I think it's still in print. It's a tad technical but very, very good.
