Ibrahim, Try MicroTech. According to Amazon, they even have models now which can handle 12" X 17". I have one of their older model legal size scanners which I bought a couple of years ago. It's easy to use and hasn't given me a bit of trouble.

Hi Folks, My old Hp4c Scanner died, and I spent a lot of time looking for a scanner that has similar large surface, but I could not. All scanners I found has significantly smaller surfaces. The hp4c has a 14 inch by 9.5 inches which made them suitable for most books. Now, the largest surface of the scanners I could find is 11.7 by 8.5. which make them small for most books. This is extremely frustrating. Did any of you figure out a solution to this problem ?
