I've been trying to scan some old books where the pages have darkened.  
Greyscale and some tweaking seem to be the best for that rather than black and 
white scans.  I suspect the same would be true for the dustcover since the text 
there is usually over a picture or at least a colored background.

Grayscale and 4000 dpi for the resolution, usually gets the best
 results, 
with the dust jackets.

Hi folks. Anyone know the best way to scan the back of a hard-cover
book where the book jacket information is usually found? I've tried
it on the default settings with k1000 version 11, but my results have
been less than satisfactory. Any help would be most appreciated.
