Two Methods: Scanning a book can refer to two different things: Reading a book quickly or converting physical pictures of books into digital files. People want to scan (speed-read) a book to process large amounts of information quickly and efficiently. People usually want to scan (photocopy) a book for other reasons. For instance, if a beloved book falls apart on you, scanning its pages will enable you to keep a permanent copy of the book in digital form. Read on for more information on how to do both the right way.

Choose a scanner. You'll need to make a choice between a flatbed scanner and a sheet feed scanner, depending on what you can afford and what you're looking for:. A flatbed scanner generally costs less and offers precise scans. The benefits of this scanner is that the book does not require its pages separated or its binding to be destroyed. Furthermore, flatbeds can easily scan just about anything that can be placed on the glass, not just paper documents. It is simple and flexible, especially for books.

A sheet feed is able to scan both sides of the page and is much faster than a flatbed. A sheet feed scanner requires the same amount of space as a flatbed, but scanning a bound book is impossible using this type of scanner (unless the book is destroyed by separating each of the pages.) There are some other disadvantages to sheet feed scanners:. The moving parts required to do the job of feeding are prone to jamming and malfunction, which typically renders the scanner useless. Feed scanners are not designed for books, but for digitizing large amounts of single-page documents.

Feed scanners usually offer less crisp images; the pages have to move through the scanner in order to be read by the machine. Look for an extended offer when purchasing your scanner. A good sheet feed scanner, even at the low end in price, is an investment, so consider getting an extended warranty from a third party. If you'll be using your scanner a lot, get an extended warranty. The well known third party warranty users like 'Square Trade' cost more than other warranty issuers. But because such companies tend to be affiliated with well known companies, you can generally have more confidence in them. The warranty price and length will be cheaper than getting an extended warranty bought locally.

Weigh the expense by factoring in the costs of (if necessary), insurance, confidence in the warranty issuer, and your estimate of the frequency of repair. Separate the book into individual pages. This is an absolute necessity with a sheet feed scanner. With a flatbed scanner, it is a good idea to separate the pages to achieve an excellent scan and to avoid damaging your scanner because scanning a bound book requires pressing the cover on the book with some force. If there is a print or copy shop nearby, you may be able to take the book to them and ask them to cut off the binding with large powerful paper shears. This costs very little and will save a great deal of time; it eliminates the next few steps and all your pages will be square and devoid of binding glue or stitching. Remove the binding from the book.

Contrary to what you may think, there are easy ways to do this with both a hardcover book and a paperback:. Hardcover: Use a utility knife to cut the paper hinge between the covers and endpapers.

Then hit the flue with a moist, not wet, sponge to remove any paper residue. Paperback: Use a blow-drier on its warm, not hot, setting to slowly heat up the glue holding the paper to the spine. Then simply pull the pages from the spine until they all come off in one bunch. If possible, carve off the binding glue, along with a thin strip of paper, with a sharp knife first or industrial shears. Industrial shears are not essential, but if you decide to purchase one, choose the old style cutter because it can cut thin strips easily. When cutting with a rotary cutter, overlap the paper, on the cutting platform, or else the paper will sink into the groove and the ends will not cut thoroughly. Additionally, to minimize uneven cutting, when using a rotary blade cutter, reduce the amount of sheets you cut.

With a rotary cutter, your margins will be narrower on one side (cropping can adjust the margin width). A good scissors and a photo editing program like Windows Live is all that you need to get the pages looking professional in the end.
