  On the pages with the small plant drawings(roots and leaves) there are tall containers on the far left side of the pages. These containers often have text written in the middle of them, however the text is often hard to read as the containers are painted over with colours such as red. Has anyone worked out how to make this text stand out more, so that it can more easily be transcribed? (There are also other labels on these botany pages which are faint and hard to read, particularly on the far right hand margin.) It would be nice if all the text is as readable as possible.

  I am sure others have done that.  I myself am working on this problem, but first on the pools of the Bio section.  If that works, I could try the jars of Pharma...
