I sympathize with Eugenia about not being able to copy some old books. I have come across this problem in certain counties. An option for people out there is to buy a scanner pen. I got one for Christmas. Haven't used it yet, but it works. You scan the lines you want into your pen and then later you transfer it to your computer. I was surprised how much data one of those pens could hold! Mine cost $159 from Frys Electronics. I noticed that at Christmas time Ancestry.Com was offering them for the same price. Just an option!
