I have an already assembled bookscanner (one of the kits), including 2 cannon cameras, camera trigger, and eyefi cards. I also splurged for museum glass for the glass plates. The bookscanner is in working condition, and I just used it this weekend.
I'm moving from the bay area, and on the fence whether I should sell it or take it with me. So I thought I would throw this out there and see if anyone is interested in it.

Re: Assembled bookscanner + cameras + eyefi cards in Bay Are
I am uploading a couple pictures in case anyone is interested. The two cameras are Canon PowerShot A2200.
The scanner is painted matte black. However, for image processing I found it helpful to have a *white* background behind the books, so I've taped 2 white regular pieces of paper on the book-holding leaves, but these are easily removed.
