That makes sense, particularly if the outfit you were planning to use did
that kind of work for places like law firms where precision is expected.

Would you care to define expensive?

I'm not familiar with bookshare, but I know that with rfb&d you would have
to send them a copy of the book in order for them to record it, and that's
if they decide they want to record it. I've looked into having services that
scan books into pdf's but they seemed really pricey; although I didn't
research that enough. I'd be curious to see some responses here as well. A
friend of mine had open book from freedom scientific, and I messed around
with that a bit, but it seems a big hassle to take the book apart and scan
page by page. lol I'd rather pay someone to do that, but again, the cost of
such a service seems high. Some people who use open book say you don't have
to take the book apart, but from messing with it, it seemed to me that the
only way to get an accurate scan with that is to take it apart or the
scanner doesn't get all the letters at the edgeof the pages where they
connect.

Dear All,
I recently purchased a copy of "Music Notation" by Gardner Reed. This
is the bible of print notation conventions. I asked prior to buying the
book and found that it was not part of the collection of RFB&D or Book
Share. Since I don't know how either of those services work, I'd like to
know which of them is the best to go to and ask them to consider including
this book in their collection. Failing that, are there services that would
scan an entire book into PDF for a fee? I don't own a Sara or Open Book and
don't want to buy one for this purpose.
Anyway, if anyone has a suggestion as to how to make this book as
accessible as possible, I'd love to know.
Thanks,
Kevin
