Beware poor quality in Springer GTM books


Compare and contrast the following pictures of text, from two Springer GTM books.

This is from Silverman’s The Arithmetic of Elliptic Curves:

[![Silverman’s *The Arithmetic of Elliptic Curves*][silv_sm]][silv_lg]

And this is from Hartshorne’s Algebraic Geometry:

[![Hartshorne’s *Algebraic Geometry*][hart_sm]][hart_lg]

Both are the editions currently for sale – but one is cleanly printed, while the other is a low-quality scan of the original book.
