>>If you scan your 3"x5" photo at 72 dpi

... then you are in trouble, but note that in your example, 72 dpi is the 
resolution of the
SCANNER, not the image.

 >>And if you want your 3x5" photo to appear in this coffee table book at a
print size of 6"x10", they're gonna tell you to scan it in at 600 dpi,
or 1200 dpi.

.... again, this is the scanner resolution.  As far as the correct number 
of pixels are in the image,
you can store in it the information you want about so called DPIs, it 
wont make any differenece, the
print company will not even look at it. Why? Because an electronic image 
has no size in inches,
then "dots per inches" is just non sense.

And what if your original image was a numeric photo? Where are the "inches"?
Again, the CAMERA has a resolution, an angular resolution in the occurrence,
but the image it takes has none, even if the camera stores some weird 
"DPIs" in it.
