Hi Bruce,I found the easiest way to dissamble a book by having a bookbinder do the cutting with the machine they regularly use to bring their sheets in a rectangular form.And for the re-assembling: here, especially in the cities with a university (and university library) the cheapest is - the local prison. I have no idea whether that is done in the US as well, but as they have to keep the inmates busy and give them an education for the time after the sentence, quite a few have a bookbinder shop established - and those are cheap and do a darn good job.Best regards - Norbert-----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: "Bruce Feist" <brucedfeist@gmail.com> Gesendet: 12.02.2011 15:31:02 An: gutvol-d@lists.pglaf.org Betreff: [gutvol-d] Bookbinders
I'm considering removing the pages from a 1911 book I have in order to
scan them, and then having the book professionally reassembled. Can any
of you suggest a reliable and inexpensive bookbinder to do this? Am I
mad to even consider the idea?
The book probably doesn't have any particular cash value, but it does
have sentimental value to me. It's called "English for New Americans",
and my grandfather used it when he came to this country around 1930.
(The book itself is from 1911; it was used when he got it.) I'm willing
to have it go through this abuse, but I'd like to have it usable afterward.
