Please don't do that, I rather want to keep my intestines rather intact. Anywho, this is coming from me, who kinda in the world of scanning manga. Firstly, use the hairdryer method. Melt the glue in the spine and take the book apart. If you don't have an hairdryer, you can go to an office max or any place that is kinda like office max; and ask them if they have a book cutter you can use and cut the spine off. Unless you plan on buying shit tons of books do not buy a book cutter they are 100+ dollars. My group had to pay 170 dollars for this book cutter. Anywho, good luck with your scanning process. Oh there is also one more method called mircowave/oven method. I would use the hairdryer first tho.
