After several tries at copying, cutting, pasting, copying and then crying, I copied each row of pictures at 65%, cut the rows to the same size, used a glue stick to hold them back-to-back in numerical order and then laminated them. I tried several ways to hold them together and currently this chain allowed them to lay the flattest in the book. It's not perfect but I needed to get it out on the floor. Had the images not been so integral to the story, I would not have gone to the effort. I'm currently looking for a stick-on slip that I can put on one of the inside flaps to slide them into like a CD. I will update if I am able to improve the system. Thank you for all the suggestions! You library peeps are the best!

Hello, friends! I just purchased Mona's Eyes and it is the Europa version which has a double-sided cover that unfolds to twice it's size. Normally I would just cover it like a normal book but the cover has images of all the paintings that are referenced in the book and I feel it's important to have them included. We talked about reducing and laminating the images to include as inserts but aren't sure how well that will work. Has anyone done anything similar or have another idea? Thanks! Cindy
