I made a hardware DIY Book scanner and run it off a Rpi using https://github.com/Tenrec-Builders/pi-scan https://github.com/Tenrec-Builders/pi-scan with two Nikon J1 cameras. If you're not an experienced handy-person be prepared for frustration and spending more than you think on tools. Otherwise very happy with the result and experience. I can scan about 800 pages per hour currently. Once scanned I use scan tailor to adjust the pages then a small script to tesseract OCR them before creating a PDF. I typically do all the scanning while watching Netflix as it doesn't require a lot of attention once you get in the flow.
