  1. Great blog post! I struggled with the same internal debates over destroying my books to preserve them. I found a happy middle ground for some of the issues I still wanted to keep after digitizing them though. Most bookbinders will rebind the magazines into volumes, even if you have already cut the bindings apart. They can be bound in hardcover as long as the total height of the stack is under 2 inches. I've found that entire year runs often fall under this limit, so they make perfect yearly volumes. It can get a bit pricey (usually $60-70 per volume for hardcover) but I find the results to be pretty satisfying. I can destroy my books to preserve them, while also keeping a collected copy on my bookcase in an attractive hardcover volume. Just a thought to those who are hesitant to debind their precious collection.
