How do you digitize a six foot wide book?
A wonderful article at BoingBoing about how the British Library is scanning and digitizing the 350 year old Klencke Atlas. It has been scanned in a lower resolution before, but this represents the state-of-the-art in scanning oversized books.

Watch how librarians digitize a 6-foot wide book
