Scanning advice for squarebound comic?
Yoc:
I shoot for about 6-700kb with a page size of 1280 or more pixels in height. The results are large but splitting the book into two is no big deal for readers.
GL on the project Kevin!

In fact, I myself I’m still studying a way to scan without ruining books.
I started participating here more or less as I started collected, and I quickly realized the best advice is probably the one given by narfstar, if the book is poor-fair or coverless. Inversely, I think it’s best not to have a book of a grade higher than G/G-VG, otherwise it will be ruined. I have seen my copy of Daredevil Comics #12 (a G-) is suffering some damage because the spine was worn, so I think the best choice is to have either a PR (or coverless) copy or a G+/GVG one. Copies in better shape get damaged, and copies in FR to G are in most cases more delicate than those in G+/GVG.
Now I have a big problem with a pair of earlier issues which I bought in really nice condition, I guess I’ll have to differentiate my search whenever I think of a copy also for scanning. :'(
narfstar:
You might get Rangerhouse to scan the more valuable books for you
Yoc:
RH is in America though.
vaillant:
Yes, I know RH bought that wonderful used book scanner, but it wouldn’t be practical at all, considered I’m in Italy.
However, it could be an option if we decide beforehand (maybe) to set a small fund for valuable books which are still missing.
Anyway, I apologize once again for timing: I find really no time for scanning right now, but sooner or later I will have the job done!
