These look really nice. The crease is missing and the
curvature of the text is only barely noticeable in a couple
of places (TAG 4-1, pp 2-3) but it's so slight it might
even be merely my imagination.

The staple holes are the only artifacts that telegraph the
source data. I probably shouldn't have mentioned that --
leave those alone, don't go after them. They lend an
authenticity to the docs ;-)
