How do I get a copy of a hard copy tree?

How do I get a copy of a hard copy tree?

A relative has quite a large hard copy of the family tree, done many years ago, and I'd like a copy of it. I don't care if it's a physical copy or not, but what's the best way of getting it done? I have a small home scanner, but I can't imagine that's any use. (I'm non-tech as you can probably tell).
I suppose what I really want to know is if there's any easier way of getting the info from the tree other than me copying it by hand.

Try going to Kinkos and look to see if they have a large format scanner and printer.

When I worked a copy & print center, this was a very common request we would get. You can get it copied and spiral bound usually for under $20. Staples, Office Max, and the like usually have very helpful staff that will do this for you.

Good luck!

Thanks both. I'm in Britain but we do still have a Staples! Unfortunately the TWO people who promised me a family tree have let me down. Now I need advice on how to get information from someone without seeming like a nag. :-)
