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. Bruce Feist
