You're right, most hardbacks can be scanned using two-page mode with no trouble.
After some experimentation, I got this one to fit.

I'm afraid I'm not understanding what you want. I haven't found many books
that won't fit on a scanner unless you want two-page mode. 8 by 11.5 is pretty
much what you're going to get even with a book-edge scanner. So, you won't be
using two-page mode even with that.
There used to be legal-sized scanners 8 by 14, but they were costlier. There
are what's called full-sized scanners 11 by 17 if memory serves, but they're
not close to cheap.

I've decided to start scanning again, but have run into an interesting
problem.
The few books I scanned in the past were mass market paperbacks.
Well, there was one hardcover.
Anyway, I tried to scan another hardcover today, but the book wouldn't fit
on my scanner!
So, I need some suggestions for a not too pricey scanner that can handle
hardcovers of various sizes.
