You might want to save the scans as PNG files, since they're line art.
Though the JPGs look good.
I converted page 17 into a PDF; you can see the result at
ftp://microship.com/bikenomad/t017.pdf .
Here's what I did:
go to Gimp and crop the JPG
print PS to a file
run ps2pdf on that file
Did you want to try to OCR them? That would reduce the size of the
PDFs but would require lots more manual work to get the fonts right,
etc.
