Most such books end up "too much trouble to scan but too valuable to
shear off the binding to make scanning easier" so the owner ends up
throwing them away.
Doug Jones has a good web page on paperback/databook type preservation:

how about a sheet feeder Roy, bought(?) or home
made?
Then you could cut off the bindings, then feed them
in. It's what I'm going to do...one of these days.
Nope. I don't see a need to destroy the books to get that info in there...
