I've tried everything, including one page at a time, which I had to do when I thought it would get better, because I had to keep inserting the first or last word of each line where it is at the spine. The book is just too tight even with a lot of tugging and pushing and bending it. It's a library book so I don't dare to do more to it. -- Jamie in Michigan Currently Reading: Lethal Legacy by Linda Fairstein See everything I've read this year at: www.michrxtech.com/books.html
