One Page at a Time
An excellent book to introduce the novice into how to use a scanner. It covers all the technical details in a relatively easy to understand format. It also gives advice on how to set up different items for scanning. I had purchased a scanner with a view to scanning my stamp collection into my computer. The scanner sat there for some time without being used. After reading this book and following the guide lines I picked up enough confidence to start scanning my collection. This is a good book full of good non technical information on how to get the best out of your scanner.
