Can anyone recommend a (handheld) scanner for a PC?  Black-and-white is
quite acceptable, but colour might be fun.

I suspect I should be looking at the lower end of the market (it's for
home use, not professional).

Ideally I'd like it to be controlled by Windows software, but this
isn't essential provided that I can use the files in most Windows
applications (eg Paint or WinWord).

How much would such a scanner cost?  Where might I buy it?  Etc  :-)

Ta,
    Chris
