It came from Japan (not meant to be sarcastic), that's where I purchased it.But it was Machina and his legendary internet searching skills that actually tracked one down that was for sale, and helped with the purchasing formalities.

I don't get why half the book is in B&W, but I'm working on custom profile pages and am thus colorizing some of them:Is it perfect? No, but it's better than in B&WIf anyone has any of the profiles from other magazines in color, please help me out.

How do you do that? Is it a manual process or is there an automatic way like you see them do with old film? - (how they extract colour information from B/W film that's not visible to the naked eye).
