Turtle91, even a cheap flatbed scanner will "see" well between the pages. Never had a problem with OCR-ing even with thick books and average-to-light pressure on the spine. If you're a complete beginner with vector graphics, Vector Magic will do the job nicely, but you'll still need to correct the output, using Adobe Illustrator or Inkscape. There are lots of tutorials on Youtube, on how to use, say, Inkscape to vectorize a bitmap image.

It actually does that, initially. It breaks the text down into plain text, with each character surrounded by a tag
(so that the bolds and italics do not get lost), then it puts it back as RTF. This results in a "squeaky clean" file, just right for processing.

PS: I hear that PlusTek scanners are not that good. They break down after after a year or so (but then again, cheap cameras aren't that good either). I would recommend a flatbed scanner for somewhere around $60-90. They're absolutely fine for all intended purposes. You would've paid over $800 for the same scan quality just a few years ago.
