I'd recommend using some kind of platen to flatten the page, and cradle the book at a comfortable 90-100 degrees with scans as perpendicular to the page as possible.
edit: ooops forgot the link to the video:

and another cool one here |
You may have made my life easier. I have a book that needs scanned so I can publish it.
