Essay critique:How to scan and digitize books tutorial

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:

http://libgen.rs/book/index.php?md5=1DD970651472FC187EDFDBFC7FEA64FE

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

The result isn't bad! Were you able to scan both facing pages at once then? Feel free to add it to the essay as it's public domain, or I'll do it later lol
