Re-Affixing pages into a (softcover)Book

[BetweenTheLines]

Ooookay, my favorite book is one part book, one part 'pile of ~20 pages kept alongside book'. I'd just buy a new one, but this specific copy is important (and has HEAVY notations that I'd rather keep). Any resources/tips on how to get pages back in, or maybe just slow the rate they're falling out? Is there any "professional" service that can "re-spine" a paperback? I was about to use superglue and something tells me I'm gonna do more harm than good just diving into this..
(book is ~1k pages)

There are book repairers but the whole process is time heavy and very expensive. I have read about people looking into the process and found unless it's a super rare book that's worth a LOT of money it's not worth fixing properly, for the cost.

Is there any way you could copy the pages and store them electronically?

I imagine I could, but it'd probably just be easier to do it manually.. If it's a PITA like that then I guess I'll just copy my notes into a new edition and hang onto the old one as a keepsake. I could use another read-through anyways

(THANK YOU, btw)

My pleasure, hope it helped.

What about using a couple binder clips, like these:

It's not permanent, but it's cheap.

new copy is already on the way, so at this point i'll just stick them in there and put the book away for a while (after the laborious task of copying all my notes LOL)
