Only the statistical tables are transcribed; the text, maps, lists of tables, indexes, the publisher's list and the Institute's front matter are not. Pages with tables were found from contact sheets by Claude Sonnet 5.5, which also flagged pages printed sideways (turned upright before reading), very dense tables and tables continued over pages; a table running over several pages was read in one call with all its pages. Each page was read once and not checked by eye; unreadable figures are marked [?], and printed totals that do not add up are noted and kept as read. Each part numbers its pages from 1; chapters are labelled Part I, II or III, and tables are filed under the chapter and country section in which they are printed, from each part's contents.
