With a digital camera and some setup, you could photograph the pages just as many photograph slides and photographs, but there's more than likely going to be a lot of page curve distortion on the edges, or you'll have to damage the book to get it flat enough that OCR might be able to work with it to get to text.
Abby Finereader does a good job of sorting out the curves. I never open a book more than 90 degrees unless it's already falling to bits. But you do need a friend to press the camera button for you.
