This is the Opticbook 3600. I have one and it does a great job with scanning. The edge of the glass is almost at the very edge of the scanner, so except for too-tightly bound (or usually, ime, rebound) books, it does a beautiful job of capturing all the text.
Any flatbed scanner is going to take longer to scan than an overhead setup like ereszet's (which is a setup I'm trying to recreate myself for a large book I have), but the Opticbook is the best out there as far as I've found for a low-cost flatbed solution.
