By the way, just to mention this: Before I entered the copy shop, I have been to the public library. I borrowed 2 big hardcover books (both with about 500 pages). When I asked him if he can cut books, he said "Sure, no problem. You are talking about this 2 hardcover books, right ?" - I guess the public library would get angry, if I cut their books ...  |
Alright, I'm salivating like a famous Russian pooch for that guillotine.
My guillotine
will cut through the covers of a hardback but it takes both arms and my more than ample weight pulling down on the lever to do so. I would not care to try that again too many times; the poor thing would probably fly apart! The last thing I need is that razor sharp blade doing laps around my living room at about eyeball level.
I've already come too close to losing a thumb on it!
