Hi Phylis.
If you scan books for personal use, you probably already know about 1-page 
V. 2-page scanning.  That is, if two pages fit on the book, change your 
recognition settings for 2-page scanning.  Otherwise text from facing pages 
will be mixed together and sentences get really garbled.  I just rejected 
someone elses book for that because it was an incomprehensible mess.  Happy 
scanning.
