Datamancer has put together this flatbed scanner built into a bound leather book. The scanner sits inside a sheet metal frame with the book built around it. There's really no practical use for this, but it looks super cool. I guess you could pretend to put a piece of paper in your book and then scan it. Perfect for spies, except that you'd have to walk around with a suspiciously huge leather book all the time.

i have to take my scanner with me on travel all the time, this would be super awesome to have, and i totally would act like a spy with it too.
