); SAEximRunCond expanded to false Errors-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] RETRY As Christopher said, the easiest method is the cut-sheet feeder. If you don't want to destroy the book, there is a scanner that will let you scan to within 1/4 inch of the binding - the Opticbook 3600. You can find it online for just over $200. If you do a Google search, you will also find various reviews. I don't have one (yet) but this is the only inexpensive scanner I know of that will let you scan a book without destroying it.
