I suppose (or is it like that already?) bitsavers needs some form of database 
[1] linking filenames to descriptions; it'd be easy to have an "overview page 
number" field in there which dictated what page was thumbnailed and displayed 
to the user.

[1] not necessarily full-blown db; could be single flat-file, multiple files 
one per dir etc. or whatever was suitable.

Personally I find I sometimes get lost in the archive (via the web interface) 
though as a filename often doesn't obviously correspond to a document title. 
Maybe I'm missing something obvious and that's just user error :-)

cheers
