Yeah, it's always a tough call. My wife and I have a few old scrapbooks with tradecards that are deteriorating but not doing any damage to the cards. Eventually we'll have to disassemble them. I'm looking at saving the ornate covers and redoing the whole thing with sleeves attached to acid free paper. Probably too much work, but we'll see.
If the wall paper is coming apart and damaging stuff it's probably time to do what you're doing. Record the overall book, then save the better items.
Looks like there might be some nice content, which will make the whole project worthwhile.
