A Digital Camera would work great for this application. It is quick and
provides good resolution and minimal wear and tear (handling) of the books.
I took over 2,300 photos of births, marriages and deaths as well as wills,
deeds, etc on my recent trip to Clermont County. All came out very
readable.
