Question

Currently, I'm reading a photocopied version of Turing's famous article On Computable Numbers, With an Application to the Entscheidungsproblem.

This is the best photocopy of his paper that I can find; most other copies are of pretty low quality to the point that I can't distinguish between different characters. The e in the final m-config column on page 233 for example, looks exactly like a c on many copies (not the one I'm using though). I also have trouble distinguishing between the german capitol letters C and E later in his paper on page 238 and such. Is there any place where I can find a well copied version of the paper? Perhaps a book would have a nice copy

Explanation / Answer

There is a very high resolution scan in the Turing Digital Archive, however it's presented via a flash player plugin which makes reading mildy awkward and doesn't seem to allow printing.

There are a handful of marginally nicer PDF copies than that Caltech one you link available online [1][2], however they all seem to have been drawn from the same photocopy at some point.
