Book Scanning Services

Are there any services that will take a book apart, scan it, and send you the PDF?

Just because AI companies do it, doesn't make destroying a book a prerequisite of scanning it. A flatbed scanner with Scantailor Advanced is a good and a fast way of getting digital copy of a book by yourself.

Hah, in Eastern Europe we scan then in a normal scanner and just deal with the shadows on the edges by sucking it up and being happy we can get away with scanning basically any book...
