I saw this scanner at a trade show a few weeks ago. It is very impressive, and not too pricey considering what it does. It isbeing marketed as a digital copier in libraries--like a coin-op photocopier--so it is easy, relatively fast, and simple. Definitely worth looking at. It can do single pages or double-page spreads.
