Mark and I went out to Booklegger today in search of a paperback and a hardback book to dissect and rebind. Bless a used book store in a town eyeballs deep in geeks--the SF section is GLORIOUS. I was wandering through the aisles muttering, "I came here for books to kill and resurrect, not shiny new ones to read!" Mark only laughed.
We wound up bringing home a new Spider Robinson, a new Heinlein, a deLint, and another copy of Stranger in a Strange Land. The last two will be my practice specimens.
The deLint looks like it should be fairly easy to strip; don't know how the thing's sewn together, but getting its bones off should let me see. There's a mull in there somewhere, but I can't feel tapes.
Making the perfectbound Heinlein an actual sewn-together book will likely be the off-time work of several months, but so potentially worth it. Methinks I'll figure out a way to put a grasshopper on the lower corner of the front. Hmmmm....
Keep your fingers crossed, kids. :D
