Once that is done on the one page there really is no point to exactly reproducing the text on the facing page. Personally, I find the exact handwriting transcript is particuarly jarring, it's great to read it in handwriting but just plain annoying (and hard to do correctly) in typeset text -- which is why you don't see things published this way; with a clean scan on the first page this is just a waste of space in the book and your time doing it.For this second page, it is better to go with as fully cleaned-up and edited as possible with as much expansion (how RJK would re-do it now) commentary as RJK has time for. Heck, ideally, I'd like to see this in a format as close as possible to classic 1e modules, with 1 column (or part of) having a finalized 1e write-up and the other column having RJK's commentary. However, I realize that this is a question of how much time and effort RJK can spare with everything else he's working on.I guess what I'm saying is that the facing pages "something old, something new" concept is perfect for this, just provide something different on the second page. That said, since you providing the originals I'll get it regardless.I hope that that helps.</blockquote>
