The copy machines the local library here has are standard units. They also

be ok for scanning this stuff, but I'm not sure yet. The spines of these
old magazines are much thinner and much more brittle then those found in
most paperback books.

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?
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.
