The problem with the handbooks is that they are bound paperbacks. So
scanning them is either a) destructive (Al's preferred method is to
cut off the spine binding and then the sheets can go through a sheet
fed scanner), or b) labor intensive.
If you don't do something to cut off the binding, then it's very
difficult to get good scans because you're bending the paperback all
the way flat on it's binding and those handbooks can be pretty thick,
making the whole thing very difficult.
Even though it's destructive to cut off the binding, it produces
better scans with less effort.
