I just want everyone to know that the optic book scanners will scan in two-page mode just fine. I do it all the time with trade paperbacks.

I have always cringed at scanning books that didn't fit crosswise on the scanning bed, because they had to be folded back, and the edges of the pages were always pretty scrambled. Now I can hang one side of the book off the scanner, then flip the book and hang the other side off. How have I lived this long without this scanner?! Thanks for the recommendation.

Does this mean that they are not safe to scan because they'll be in the collection from the publisher? _____ From: Valerie Maples <vlmaples@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, March 6, 2012 2:45 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: FW: Guilford Press Has Become a Partner That is fantastic; thanks for passing information on!
