Book scanning

Internet Archive's book scanning machine

Internet Archive on Twitter

At the Internet Archive, this is how we digitize a book.

We never destroy a book by cutting off its binding. Instead, we digitize it the hard way--one page at a time.

There's a whole thread here including a short video of their home-crafted book scanning machine.
