Topic on Essay critique:How to scan and digitize books tutorial

This is a permanent link to a single version of this post. This version is from 23 May 2023. You can see the differences from the previous version, or view other versions on the post history page.

You can achieve top quality scans by bending the book as much as possible for a minute 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:

The book is still intact, albeit with the side cover a bit stretched lol
