Hi

My advice:

1 - Scan your book with the scanner tool for scanning and save in TIFF format. Every tool as a rectangular “just scan this part” possibility, use it to define your scan page. Scan one page, preview, move the rectangular “mark” to the next page and scan. Go to the next “2 pages” and do the process again.
This is slower then scanning 2 pages at a time, but, you get your pages cropped the way you want and turned to the cored side (so no problems with pages in the right direction and the others upside down);

2 - OCR with Omnipage and create your PDF.

You will see it looks slower, but at the long term it becomes faster and you are in control of all the process.

Best regards,
