Me neither. I won’t cut up a book, not as long as I can get a decent scan of it
without doing so. And so far, I have, even mass market paperbacks with very
close margins. I just did one today. I had to rescan a couple pages when I
discovered that their margins caused some missing letters and small words the
first time around, but now everything is here.

With my trusty book edge scanner and a learned touch that ensures the book is
flat against the scanner if it’s small enough to scan two pages at once, I have
scanned literally any kind of book and had it work out well. I do mass
paperbacks all the time, and all other kinds as well, and you just have to
learn how to hold them so you get everything. The one thing I have never done
is whack up a book to scan it. I know people do that, but I object to
sacrificing a book unless it’s absolutely necessary!

I’ve always found the print to be best in hardcovers & trade paperbacks or
paperbacks from independent publishers. It’s the mass market ones that cause me
personally more trouble.

Hello I was wondering is it easier to scan a paper at back or a book with a
hardcover? The book I'm trying to find is only available in paperback or
Library binding
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
