Gently weigh down the page you are not reading. The operative word here is GENTLY. Gentle, even pressure will open the book widely enough to let you get the camera along the spine of the book without damaging it.

The print gets close to the binding edge of the book and I find reading in it difficult with my optacon. I don't want to disassemble the book to be able to read it better. Any advice?
