Yes sir! Just walk into any FedEx Kinko's with your book and they will quite happily cut it down to the size you desire. Up here in Seattle they get $1.49 per cut, which I will quite happily remunerate to them tomorrow to cut down iWoz for me.

If they look at you funny, hey, it isn't a copyright violation to cut the spine off a book. Just a perfectly legal money making opportunity for them.

Now, if you then ask them to *scan* the book for you.. Well, have you ever seen an angry wet hen? No? Just ask them to scan the book for you after cutting the spine off and you'll get a close approximation.

After you are done scanning you can return to the store and they will happily rebind the book for you. Although they've never offered me any option resembling the original binding.

My current scheme is to bind up the deck of pages in Glad Press-n-Seal wrap and then stack the blocks inside those large plastic storage bins (the type with the flip open tops) in a Public Storage unit.
