Thanks, Simon. That was the idea. It is slow going. I had tried to slice
the images up with ImageMagick so we do a layout of the individual flags
and speed things up a bit, but I couldn't figure out a good way.
Joe just sent in updated images this morning, so maybe we should wait for a
while to make sure we're not aiming at a moving target.

They're posted on the blog, but I think this deserves more attention.
I'd like to put them on our Books page, but before we do, we could make
the text on the images more legible. Anyone willing to help out? The one
suggestion I have is to use a lossless image format like PNG so that we
don't make the JPEG artifacts worse. We might also want to encapsulate
these in a PDF, though that's probably not necessary.

You mean like this?

I've only worked through the first image so far. I saved the image as a
PNG, deleted the text parts, added the PNG to a SVG document and
replaced the labels with selectable text. Anyone better than me at
reducing JPEG artefacting might want to see if they can improve the
graphic part, but the labels are now easier to read.
If this is the sort of thing you were thinking of, Jon, I can have a go
at the rest of them also, though it's a bit of a slow job.
