I'm not contradicting anybody else's experience but I have gotten excellent scans with vuescan. It is my experience that page numbers can possibly be missing no matter what method you use though this has not happened to me as a rule with vuescan. But then I usually take my books apart because no matter what method I use, I find that scanning books with the book left whole doesn't give me the level of accuracy I need; probably a lack in my own technique. However, with Abbyy Pro you now don't need vuescan, though I think it's going to be a while before I am totally comfortable with Abbyy Pro.
