You may want to take a look at the byte collection at the internet archive:

Archive
Comparing the first issue side-by-side, I think the Internet Archive version is
a different scan. It is better quality. The letters have more uniform density
than the American Radio History version. Also, they have a page of byte
re-scans; I'm not sure what issues are addressed by the rescans. BYTE Magazine

In a previous thread I asked for a couple of specific pages from Byte
magazine, which I got (thanks to all, especially Peter, for helping out!) But
that brings up a bigger issue (no pun intended.)
About a year ago I found the Byte scans on americanradiohistory.org and started
reading from the start. I found that those scans were less than great, with
many missing pages, pages out of order, pages scanned at resolutions too low to
read, and a few other problems. I went searching the web for other scans and,
with a few exceptions for individual issues, found that ALL the collections of
scans seemed to be the same ones, with the same bad pages.
I certainly appreciate the considerable effort of whoever did those scans, but
I think Byte is too important to not have good scans available. Perhaps a
project to get those good scans created would be something worthwhile for the
members of this list to take on. I realize what a huge project it is. Just
going through the currently available scans to find which pages are bad or
missing is a large and time-consuming effort. But my opinion is that it is
important and worthwhile.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Will
