That's probably the best way if he's going to do it by himself.  With
older bound books like his, the less you turn the pages and handle them,
the longer it will last.

Oil from human hands (finger prints) can easily get on the paper
shortening its life.  This is where a pair of medical examining gloves can
come in handy.
