Hey, I have this book in paper and would like to scan its pages to share on something like z-library for others to access.

So I wanted to ask what is the best way to go about scanning all the pages of the book? Something like those images to pdf scanners on your phone or something else?

Also where should I upload it to? Is Z-library okay? And is it safe to upload it? Could it be traceable back to me and potentially getting me in trouble?

Thanks in advance

So, yes I do plan on taking pictures and converting them into pdfs.

About the book itself it is just kinda expensive ($150 USD) and I only found one copy of the book on Z-library but the images in it were very poor.

I won't break the spine of it because I still need the book for my studies.

So yea still think I should upload the pages of the books somewhere?

    To your last statement, the answer is always yes lol. Admittedly, without despining it your going to have difficulties scanning in the text closest to the middle of the book, but any knowledge or media being archived is amazing.
