I have many books and every chapter shows up much like a song in an album.
I don’t need to see the chapters most of the time, just the name of the book.
Is there a way to hide all the chapters for a book in iTunes until I want to see them?

I have a picture I want to scan into my computer.
It is too big for my printer to scan at once.
I can scan half of it, then the other half.
Is there an app or way to rejoin the 2 halves once they are scanned?
