I unfortunately have not seen the book. But if black and white scans
is acceptable (probably even color for some), and if it is alright to
separate the pages, many of us, including me,  have access to copiers
that can make very fast scans. 656 can be scanned in less than 30 min
(black and white 300 dpi - Actually, a little faster than making
copies), a little more time needs to be spent rearranging the pages in
the proper format.
The bottom line, it not as tedious as it sounds and I will be glad to
do it for the community  if there is no better solution.
