Abstract

An apparatus (2) for positioning a page of a book for imaging, comprises a support (8) for supporting the book with its pages open in a desired position, and a page positioning member (10) for positioning a page in an imaging position. The page positioning member (10) is movable from its page positioning position so as to permit a subsequent page of the book to be turned, the page positioning member (10) then being returnable to its page positioning position to allow the subsequent page to be positioned thereon.
