I "think" I read somewhere Google was doing that for themselves, and
the overal cost to them, in bulk, was $30 per book, IIRC
I don't remember if any of the above is correct or not, <grin>

I've got a private collection of books and papers that I'm thinking about
getting scanned and was wondering if anyone on the list has had experience
with projects like this and hiring companies to perform the service. The
collection in question is probably several hundreds books (maybe more) of a
heterogeneous nature (softcover, hardcover, pamphlets, binders, magazines)
and mostly English with some Russian, German, and Japanese. Looking for a
non-destructive service to scan and OCR as much as possible, with image
scans of the stuff too faded or unreadable to OCR. And it would be in the
Boston area.
Advice on ballpark costs, possible companies to approach and feasibility
would all be appreciated.
