Hi Julia,
Well, it's a pain in the neck, but I use the OpticBook scanner and sort of
shift the book beyond where the spine is touching the edge of the scanner,
giving the scanner a bit more of the book to see. Does that make sense? I
use single-page scanning, by the way, and always use gray scale as my
scanning choice. I have found it does a better job on tricky books.
Maybe that helps somewhat? It is definitely a pain to hold the book still
like this, and if you have shaky hands, I'd not recommend it as the
frustration level might be really overwhelming.
Happy scanning.
Mayrie

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] the unscannable book
Hi list.
I'm wondering if any of you have managed to scan books that you at
first thought were unscannable. The examples that come to mind are my Hilda
Lewis requests. Both Jamie and Helen seem to be able to scan them, granted,
they have vision, and I do not. Any advice on how to overcome this seemingly
insurmountable obstacle would be welcome. I'm referring to books with little
to no margins.
Thanks,
Julia
