back in the day there were book scanners. what i want is something that will gently support a book for a moment and allow it to be lit well, but i can use my phone or SLR for the actual photo. there are books i don't want to jam onto a flatbed because they're twice as old as me and i don't want to damage them. ideas?

Did you ever wonder how books are scanned?

I’ve been researching on the topic of #digitizing #books for a while (but thankfully not added it to my list of half-finished projects).
My favorite is this awesome #linear #bookscanner, the love child of a flatbed scanner, a vacuum cleaner, and a meat slicer:
