I agree that one of the Scansnap series is a good way to go. I have one in the 400s and it does an excellent job. One caveat - it is not TWAIN compliant which may be a drawback for other general uses. I got mine strictly for book scanning, which brings us to another drawback - the book must be first separated into pages to use it. I purchased a professional grade manual paper cutter for this purpose. Good price on ebay for the cutter. A final note - cheaper paper back books do not have the same high quality of print as better hard back books. This shows up in the OCR process.
