I feel your pain, but your book press is awesome! I am not that advanced. Praise be to all who actually got someone else to cut your book. I decided to go the friend route and we cut (small pages at a time) for the filler pages. I also cut the pages (with text) by hand. However, the cover is a tad bit small and it's probably holding on for dear life. So classmates, handle with care...not b/c it's a RAD item, but b/c it maybe slightly raggedy! Better luck 2nd time around!
