Re: New topic - PRR List Of Tracings book

Gary and Bill are absolutely right, but here's a further idea:

Take them apart.
Copy them en toto, two copies (or more).
Reassemble the originals
Bind the copies however you want to.
Place the originals in a reputable 501(c)3 non-profit archive, accessible to
the public under proper archival supervision and care.
Sell the extra copies at auction to cover the costs incurred in this process
(and maybe make a little extra).
Take that tax deduction in April 04 8^)

Might consider digitizing them as pdf's and selling those, too . . .

I strongly agree.

Preserve the original, use the copy.

If it were me, I'd CAREFULLY take the books apart, make copies to use as
you
want, and put the originals back together as they were. This gives you a
copy to mark on or punch holes in as you see fit and not destroy the
original, and therefore its value.
