I pulled the wire binding off my copy last night and will take it to work and use the auto-feed scanner to scan it. Might take a few tries to get a really good scan (light/dark, adjust f/ descreening, etc)... I will run OCR on it to help make it searchable and that seems to reduce the file size. I am thinking it will have to be broken in parts so it will email...where shall I send the files?
