We're talking about the machine that does it.

Well,  nothing new on scanner but 1st deal from Ebay has fallen flat,   :(  haven't given up hope,  I have a online store I'm working with now..

Just discovered this topic, so here's my input:

I surely win the prize for cheapest machine - a 90-dollar-flatbed CANON Lide 110.
Hooked to a Sony VAIO notebook running with Windows 7.
State-of-the-art-setup though...
I "post produce" the pages with an automatized Photoshop run correcting tonal values (is that the term?) and scaling down page size.
I am quite happy with the results: readable, sharp and clear panels.
They are lighter than the original book, just a bit yellowed, which is perfect in my eyes.
I don't care for scanning speed, cause I process only one book per day.
It's a labor of love. Most of the time I spend trying to get a STRAIGHT scan out of those crooked, slantwise printed books.

Thanks for sharing T, I only learned about automated actions in PhotoShop after JVJ-Jim told me about them.  They sure do save time don't they?  :)
