Thanks, Jamie. :-) I love cookbooks and wish I could tackle requests like this without worrying about the scan. I'm so glad your library has copies of these books. Baking bread makes me feel happy. There's something soothing about kneading the bread, sort of like how I feel when I scan.

I will have to have a look at them as well, because like Monica said, some scan well and some are a real pain. Jamie in Michigan
