I recommend having Kinko cut the binding off.  The charge about 50 cents to
do so and it makes scanning much simpler.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] mass market paperbacks

HI folks,

I think I saw some coverage of this subject a while back, but I honestly 
wasn't paying attention.

I have a Mass  Market paperback I'm trying to scan, and it's not going 
well.  The print is so close to the spine that words are being cut off at 
the ends and beginnings of lines (when I scan two pages at a time).  I'm 
not sure that I want to spend the time trying to solve this problem, but I 
really  want this book (Survival of the Fittest, by Jonathan Kellerman) to 
get into the collection, as the copy currently there is unreadable.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Should I send it to the Bookshare office 
to be scanned?

I guess I won't be buying any Mass Market paperbacks in future.

Cheers,

Robin
