I just got back from my first trip to Cambodia. It was quite a doozy for someone with a Cambodian background. Well anyway, I purchased what I assumed to be an original copy of a hardcover Ancient Khmer dictionary. Stupid me was in a rush of sorts and forgot to look closely at the page numbers. The book is misarranged in about ten separate parts and I considered taking it apart and rearranging the chunks to their proper order, but I am not sure if purchasing materials and spending the time rebuilding a book is reasonable or not. I guess it would be a fun project… 
Yes, it would be a fun project. I say… go for it!
