If problem, I can always scan the pages OCR&PDF it and send it as an
email. This is no problem to do.

Have been considering copying the whole book, but it was this time
thing.., It is an original, left behind in a shelf by a retiered
teacher, I rescued the book over into my shelfs.

my impression is that for a woodbury print to function as a print it
doesn`t need more relief than a (high) carbon print, this article
mentions 1/200 of an inch, I think some was done in color that is
several layers which then would be thicker. The gelatin relief makes an
impression in lead - which then is filled with "carbonised" or pigmented
gel and printed on paper. So basically a layer thickness that works for
carbon would be enough to print / color a paper.

It might be that earlier formulaes operated with higher relief, which I
would like to see..

have to run now, more later
