What's the possibility of WMUK buying the book for £5,000, scanning it to Commons, then selling the book privately or to a dealer to recover most of the money spent?
The main expense would be the digitisation equipment, I expect, although that would be re-usable (we've been talking about buying such equipment for years, it's never quite made sense to do so, though). Alternatively, we may have a partner that would let us use their equipment.
