Amy,
Sounds like you are looking for an excuse to buy more equipment! :o)
How about putting the book in a press with just a bit showing then use a
wood chisel (very sharp and not one someone has used to open paint cans) or
plane blade to remove glue.
Take it easy with Calvin and Hobbes. I grimace every time my grandchildren
start thumbing through my copies.
Hugs,
Greg near Toronto
"A book is a mirror. If an ass peers into it, you can't expect an apostle to
look out."
George Christoph Lichtenberg (1742-99)
