Book, what is a book? LOL just kidding but, a lot of schools don't use books anymore.

I used to teach with a woman whose job was to find and provide educational materials for special needs students. One day she had a pile of texts books, one for each subject for a student. She was cutting each page out with an Exact-O knife so she could run them through a scanner for a visually impaired student. This was before you could get digital books and large print was not available.

I told her I could save her some time if she trusted me with the books. While she kept working on the one book, I took the others to the shop. Wrapped each one with with masking tape. Put a brand new carbide blade on the table saw. Sliced off the spines of each one. When I got back with them all finished, she was still working on the first one.
