How about putting on line graphically the way the ADS does with old
journals?

It's possible, but the book image is about 120MB and uploading something that
size is a bit beyond me at the moment. Conceivably the resolution could be
reduced and the document still be legible. I haven't thought much about that
because I don't enjoy reading page-image books myself. If I'm going to put
more time into it I would rather work on an OCR solution so that the text
would be searchable, extractable, etc.
