The very first print share that I offered on this blog was a scan of "The Flash Gordon Book," a photo-filled storybook based on the 1980 movie. On a blog which was then-titled "Vinnie Rattolle's Rare Records," it certainly wasn't very popular; I think there were less than 10 downloads before the link died. A year later, after the blog had evolved and been retitled, somebody asked me for a re-up so I (painstakingly) rescanned and re-upped it. From that point on, The Flash Gordon Book was one of the most consistently downloaded shares.

Soon after the re-up, I followed with "Flash Gordon: The Movie," a comic book adaptation of the film... a film which was adapted from a comic. Weird. Anyway, again this share was a ginormous hit. But there was one more tie-in book that I never got around to scanning...
