Thanks Gerald,
These large microtech scanners sound very interesting. Unfortunately the price is way too high. May be they would be on sale oneday. For the time being I will just send my large books to Munawar, since she already got a large flatbed scanner. smile. 
Thanks all for the input.
Cheers,
Ibrahim

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.

Subject: [bookshare-discuss] What happened to the good old days large
surface scanners?

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 

?
Cheers,
Ibrahim
