I've heard there's a way to photograph each page with a DSLR. Have you ever tried that before?

Yes, using a copy stand, using an improvised copy stand, and using a dedicated book scanner (not a cheap device, made for use by libraries).
The following might work for you with a DSLR if you do not have a copy stand:
Mount the camera on a sturdy tripod. Aim it at the floor.
Place the object to be copied under the camera.
Flatten the page of interest, a flat piece of glass works
Light it uniformly from the sides, say at a 45 degree angle, not from directly above
Zoom and focus to fill the frame
Check for unwanted reflections and eliminate them
Adjust exposure so white is white and black is black.
Take the picture - a remote shutter release may help prevent some motion blur.
Repeat for each page.
As I said, a sysop will have to help you with avatar change. I cannot do it.
