Topic on Essay critique:How to scan and digitize books tutorial
From ProleWiki, the proletarian encyclopedia
This is a permanent link to the first version of this post.
You can view later versions on the post history page.
You can achieve top quality scans by bending the book as much as possible then applying soft pressure on the book as it lays on the flat bed during the scan.
See, for example, this book which I digitized:

It's still intact, albeit with the side cover a bit stretched lol
