Hi Kim,
No, the scanning surface is about 8.5 by 11 inches. Sorry!

Hi Mayrie,
Thanks for sharing about these! I always hate pressing down my books, as I
fear that one day I'm going to inadvertently damage a spine, which would
just be sacrilege to me. *smile* I may have to save up and get one of
these! Are the scanning surfaces large enough to do the coffee table sized
books, as well, just out of curiosity?
Thanks much!
Warmest,
Kim L
