pressure you put on the spine. I've done it with the cover up with a
white paper "mask" on the glass to minimize haze at the edges, and then
hold the book by hand. There will be some text warping in the scan as a
result of the gutter of the binding not being flat to the glass.
Of course, if anyone has a copy whose binding is already compromised
that would be good. I have not found a scan of this anywhere so
certainly it would be good to scan.
