Default Any experienced scanners in the house?

Okay... I have been scanning in PC games documentation in preparation for their eventual upload here to Abandonia. The folded and stapled docs are a breeze. The other stuff is not so easy with my Lexmark 9350.

I have photoshopped docs "back to normal" if they are bigger than 8 1/2 inches by 11 inches with pretty good results. However, I have some really, really cool old posters that I'd like to share. I suppose I could peacemeal them back together in Photoshop, but is there an easier way?

Secondly, many old docs are actually bound by glue. If I unfold them to get a good scan, I fear that I might break the spine. I read that it may be easier (and less destructive) if I take photographs using a digital camera (keep in mind that I want to create manuals/docs/literature of the highest quality possible). Any opinions on this?

Thanks,

APf
