I ended up truing up the edges with a belt sander

I LOVE that idea!

It's a true alt.home.repair solution to the problem!

A belt sander will leave the paper edges rough. A paper cutter is the right
tool to use. The pages are printed oversize and a half inch or so are
trimed off in a large paper cutter after the pages are assembled in a book.
Also do a google search on book binding plough.

The belt sander left the edges very smooth - you sand with the edge,
not across it - and with a fine grit.
