Hi Jim
Scanners are out as well. They are quite serious about what one
can and can't do. They specify that one can place the book on
the table and use their weights to hold it open while taking the
picture. One needs to hold the camera by hand and not use
flash. One can not stand on anything other than the floor.
These are their rules. It is their game.

you can do very well copying manuals and such with
a
mini digital cam, if its allowed. Id loan you mine if
interested, no problem.
I keep several of the Canon LIDE models that are usb powered. If you
can walk in with a battery powered laptop somewhere with these, you
can scan with a bed scanner at full resolution.
I strongly recommend collecting them, as they regularly show up at
thrift shops, and swap meets. they were not very expensive, but
run quite well with only the laptop in site.
then you just need a spotter :-)
