[bksvol-discuss] Re: Scanning questions - paperback vs hardcover

hardcover generally has a better quality of paper, and less chance of the text spilling through from the pages behind it.
The downside if there is one to hard cover is its size. Some are just to big for scanning two pages at once.
But if I had a choice, I would pick, hardcover, then high quality paperback, and if at all else fails, mass market Paperback.

The people who burned witches at the stake never for one moment thought of their act as violence; 
rather they thought of it as an act of divinely mandated righteousness.
The same can be said of most of the violence we humans have ever committed. -Gil Bailie, author and lecturer (b. 1944)

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Scanning questions - paperback vs hardcover
Which books tend to scan better - paperbacks or hardbacks? I'm sure there are a lot of factors. I'm curious as to which tend to yield the best quality when you OCR the scanned pages.
And - which are easier to actually scan? Paperbacks or hardbacks? Does the size of the book (thickness and page dimensions) make a big difference in ease of scanning? Or are there other things to look for if you have a choice between multiple versions of the same title? 

Thanks all!
