Aren't the copy machines you find in the libraries
designed to copy pages in a book without breaking it's
spine/back. Just makes copies at the library, then
scan the copies.

I don't have any duplicates, so taking them apart in such a way that ruins
them isn't an option for me. I guess I need to find an expert on book
binding and see what they can come up with. Maybe there is a special
scanner out there that was made for doing this kind of thing?
-Toth Speaking of 80 Micro...has anyone scanned the
issues from 1980-1983? I
have a collection covering all of 1980-1982, and about 1/4th of '83
(starting with issue #1). I haven't yet scanned anything since I am unsure
about how to do so w/o damaging them.
If I were to do it, I'd sacrifice a less-than-pristine copy for the
cause--not an option if you don't have a duplicate, of course. Scanning some
of those bigger issues without taking them apart is near impossible (I've
tried), and there's no way to reassemble the magazine.
