Probably. Looks like a sheet feeder, so yeah.
You essentially strip the book spine with a saw and feed each page twice to scan both sides. It ruins the book but you also get straighter scans at a faster speed than using a flatbed scanner. If you're thinking of putting the book back the way it was... will be very tricky. You could use some kind of resin but it won't be the same.
Oh, and it doesn't help OCR-ing as much as you'd think... Well, maybe if you're using a cheap scanner that can't see well between the pages.
