Getting permission is the safest route. Another approach is to buy two copies of the book, cut the spines off, and then make your scroll from that. That's what I do most of the time. It's faster and easier, and the quality is better than you get with photocopies.

And then there's the copying route. Infringement or Fair Use? I can't say for sure where the line is on this issue. There may never be one. Here's my stab at it: http://www.textmapping.org/fairUse.html

I am a bit rushed today and so must cut this short. But I have irons in the fire on this. More another time.

Thanks for your interest,

- Dave

While this is a good idea, make sure you get permission from the publisher. You don't want to break copyright.

Love the idea of laminating the scroll on butcher paper. Then you can also
use overhead markers to mark it each year.  Thanks for the idea, Lori!
