You might want to put it under a heavy glass. But then you'll have a very pleasant time getting rid of reflections.
An alternative maybe putting something rigid (like cardboard or metal) behind a single page and keep it vertical (perpendicular to the book). You can make two or three shots of single pages and then properly join them with a photo-editor. No easy solution, I'm afraid.

It has a fold-out map that is bound with the book, so I can't take it out. How do I hold the map flat to get a good photo? My current photos are not my proudest moment: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:LA2-stridfin-overviewmap-left.jpg http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:LA2-stridfin-overviewmap-right.jpg Click on the image for full 2592x3750 resolution. Note that map longitudes are relative to Ferro. Subtract exactly 18° to get Greenwich longitudes. Note also the dashed lines between Umeå and Vasa, across the Gulf of Bothnia, and also across Åland Islands, marking "winter roads", i.e. sleigh routes across the ice. -- Lars Aronsson ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Aronsson Datateknik - http://aronsson.se _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
