Actually, I found it rather amusing, that all unconcerned got bent out of shape. The only one not upset with me seems Dave, who simply did the practical thing: fixed his submission without too much adoo and will repost shortly, so I can publish it. Before posting about scanning hardcovers, I'd like to hear from Dave about the size of this Cornwell book. My tips assume the width of the book when opened, does not exceed 11.5 inches.

And now you've got everyone validating their own scans to protect them from your ruthless ravages! Have you been enough of an intellectual irritant for one day? Btw, if you have tricks for scanning a big hardcover two pages at a time please post them for the good of all. <smile> Kellie
