If you don't mind destroying the books...that is to say, separating each page from it's binding, you might consider the Fujitsu Scansnap.
The S1500 model is the one I have and enjoy. I've tried it on a lot of different sizes of paper with much success. Though I don't think I've tried the paper type found in a pocketbook, I've done other paper of similar size just fine.
It scans in b/w and colour (decides) and one or both sides of the page at about 20ppm. It also decides which combo of the above to use as it goes, though I do think it defaults to b/w or colour based on the first page.
You are limited to 50 sheets in the feeder at one time, but it's easy to add more as you go. I've successfully scanned 350 pages in one go by adding them in 30-40 page chunks as the number of pages remaining in the feeder dwindles.
The scanner also takes up only a little more space than a loaf of bread when closed up.
I've got nothing but good things to say about mine.
