Who by their marketing, and besides being a book scanner, can scan a page in 3.6 seconds.
Not cheap, and I do not have experienced it - but do know the 3600 and the 3800 and they are really good.

I have a 3600, and while I like it a lot, I wouldn't say it was fast. No matter how fast the scan goes, you also have to factor in the time to flip pages and flip the book around and align it reasonably. At 300 dpi, I can do something like 5 to 6 pages per minute. That drops down to about 2 pages per minute at 600 dpi. So, a faster scanner would be worthwhile at higher resolutions.
That said, it's very nice having flat scans without needing to crush the book (as long as you have more than about 1cm of margin on the inside).
