does anyone have a high quality scan for the book cover
Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs?
(http://mitpress.mit.edu/sicp/)

I need a high-quality scan better than this one:

Better in size/resolution or final quality?
I can scan my cover, but it's rather used!

Hi Jonathan BAILLEUL,

a scan would be super.
Larger size almost always means higher quality.

if you are going to do a scan, can you scan at last some 150 points per inch?
I can always shrink it down to get dense resolution.

Thanks.

i must be strange, but i thought the appropriate thing to do would
be to contact the authors; despite appearences, someone probably has
a copyright on that cover. at least ask for permission...
