I like to scan as much as I can. I try to include the back cover with the ISBN unless it is just hype for the book by reviewers and other authors. I like to include those little ads for other books if they scan well. The only reason I like to include them, even though they are not required, is because often I find more books I want to read that way (like I need more books to read). And definitely if there is an index I scan that. If there is an excerpt of the next book in a series, I scan that too. -- Jamie in Michigan Currently Reading: Killer Stuff by Sharon Fiffer See everything I've read this year at: www.michrxtech.com/books.html
