What kind of scanner are you using ? Are you limited in the amount of page that can be fed? How long does it take to proceed a standard 200 pages book ?

Why not just buy an OpticBook scanner from Plustek? It's designed so that the book hangs off the side of the scanner with the page to be scanned on the scanning plate. They run about $250-$350 on eBay. That way you don't have to go through all the effort to cut each book apart.
