Personally, I think the modern typesetting discards a lot of the essential value of the original. My interest in this manual stems not from any desire to program a Mark I, but because I want to connect with the past and understand what programmers of that era had to deal with. A big part of that was documentation that was not pristine, that was full of hand-written notes and symbols that they had to somehow make sense of nonetheless. It's like the difference between a real vintage airplane and a modern replica. The replica looks superficially the same, but when you look at the details it feels, well, modern. There's something radically different about flying a plane with period [1] vs modern [2] avionics.
