As far as the scanning process itself, you need to tell us your intended use(s) for the final images. If it's strictly for uploading to the web, low resolution can be very forgiving but may need an assist for legibility. Are all your pages like the one above, or do others contain photos or other screened images? Are you permitted to dismantle the book to flat pages? The sample above could have been scanned differently for far cleaner results and saved as GIF for web.
