There are commercial scanning services, but you have to send them the book. Consider building your own scanner to digitize the book, and then sell your scanner when you've finished. You'll probably make a profit. Mark,

Your device is perfect for this work. Are you or any of your contacts or colleagues offering this service commercially, or even as a favor, so that we can make a perfect digital copy? Please email me. Thanks Hi Dan,

I see you've made the images public domain - do you have any objection to my building a derivative work (scanner similar to this) from your design?

Still has some of the spooky character of its predecessors, but is definitely cuter. Any problems getting it on the plane? Did you have to assemble it for the security people?:) Are the black lines along the perimeter from the laser cutter, or did you trace those? Как всегда - молоток! The mini scanner looks neat!
