I've gone to Scantips for years and have had several e-mail chats with its author. I've found the info helpful, but I haven't felt the need to buy the book. That's probably because there are really few adjustments one can really make on the scanner [at least the one I use.] You might also go to www.photography.about.com. There's a short article on How to Scan, about 200 words, that really says it all. Scantip.com offers a lok of technical info, and that's what makes it a good site. I used it to more fully understand the Moire Effect. There's always the HP site. Of course, you'll have to wade through the "I love HP equipment stuff."
