Customer Reviews

"Not EVERYTHING" - but a lot.

This is a nice book for beginners or slightly knowledgable scanner-persons. It isn't an "everything" book, but for novices like me, it was pretty good.

The Ultimate Scanner resource

Before reading through this book I only used my scanner to occassionaly scan photos. After reading through this book I discovered that I can do a whole lot more and my scanner is no longer gathering dust on my desktop anymore. The author has a very friendly (often humorous) style of writing that makes you feel he is actually talking with you one-to-one. This book should be included with every scanner that is made.

Scanner book MUST HAVE the scanner book people dream about!

This book was amazing. I felt that the author really addressed the important questions I had about scanning and really taught me some cool things to do with my scanner. This book is an absolute must when buying or using a scanner, I felt that it should have been included with my scanner.

To scan or not to scan....

This is quite possible one of the best "how to" books I have ever read. I have owned my scanner for several years and have never been able to produce anything better than a shabby reproduction, obviously attempted by someone that has absolutely no idea what to do. This book works great as either a reference or as a cover to cover read. Information is easily undrstood and thorough with step by step instructions and lots of great pictures. My ability to use my scanner has certainly improved. This book covers everything form selecting a scanner that is right for you to restoring old photos.

A definite "must have" guide!

After having minor problems with my scanner, I went out and looked at various "how to" books -- this one beats the others hands down in termns of organizational format, content, ease to understand and depth. If you think scanners just scan, this book will teach you a few new tricks!
