Depending on how many books you have to do, you might want to invest in a good guillotine paper cutter to cut off the spines, then use a good Automatic Document Feed (ADF) scanner to scan the pages. The Fujitsu ScanSnap is a good one for the job and it comes with Adobe Acrobat Standard 9 and Abbyy FineReader. The only caution is to never use a saw to cut the spines off (too much dust) and to never use compressed or canned air to clean paper dust from the scanner (use a vacuum).
I had considered the paper cutter pictured in your other post but wound up with
this one. I tried
this one before the current one and besides the fact there are a lot of knockoffs floating around (I got one that broke but I was able to get a full refund), the paper clamp is a very poor design. The one I'm currently using is much better.
