Description

A meetup for people interested in building and using book scanners.

Do-It-Yourself Book Scanning is using cheap, compact cameras and free software to scan books quickly and efficiently. DIY Book Scanners can be as simple as a camera and a piece of glass or as involved as the Instructable that brought our community together.
