Best thing is to take the book to your local printer, and ask them to cut off the spine with their guillotine (mine is happy to do it free of charge). Ragged edges to the page will, more likely than not, cause misfeeds in the sheet feeder - you'll get multiple pages going through together. Shouldn't be a problem if you're feeding the pages one at a time, but that rather defeats the object of the exercise
.
If you have no access to a guillotine, I'd suggest cutting the pages with a very sharp knife - a scalpel or similar - so you get a clean edge.
