'88 Mk7 glove box Owner's Guide

[Elessee]

Pages are starting to un-glue from the spine, on this little 4"x8" paperback booklet. 230 pages of good information.
So, I'm going to scan it to a PDF file, hopefully using Optical Character Recognition, so it can be searched for words.
I'd like to share the digital book with anyone who wants it, for free, but I don't know if it's legal. Anyone know if there might be a problem? Informed opinions appreciated.

I scanned the booklet. About 12 Meg. It's a word searchable PDF file. Sample posted below.

Helm incorporated sells the manuals. But the auto companies (Ford, Honda, etc) supply Helm with whatever manuals they choose to print. Ford has the copyrights to its manuals, so Ford is the owner.

Helm has very few of the older Lincoln manuals. I doubt Ford will ever reprint these '88 Mk7 glove-box Owner's Guides.

If I can find an address, I will send an email to Ford/Lincoln and ask for permission to post the complete file.
