I did quite a lot of copy work to illustrate my book some years ago, but 
I'm curious.  Have you thought about simply scanning them w/ a quality 
flatbed?  I've been getting spectacular results w/ various sources 
(antiquarian books, prints, photos), which I use in my cultural and 
intellectual history courses.  I don't know what is your final application, 
but if intend to go digital and any point, why introduce the extra variables?
