Scanning artwork?

[Ryno]

I was curious how some of you managed to post quality photos of your larger art online. My scanner's out of commission atm to begin with, but even if it were functional it only scans up to 8x11.5. My sketchbook is 9x12 so in order to fully reproduce any work I have to create a border around every page.

Do you take your art to print shops, or have you purchased a professional, large scanner? Or, do you somehow know the trick to taking a digital image with a camera and editing out the surroundings? How do you do it?!?

My scanner's not up to it either. I have better luck using my digital camera.
