This may not be relevant to all, but a recent issue of PC Magazine does
a review of both Desktop Publishing and Scanners for the PC Market.
The issue is Volume 6 Number 17 October 13, 1987.  Now, I realize that
for Mac users this may not be totally relevant but some of these
companies may make suitable software to make thier product usable on
the Mac - especially those that link to PageMaker.  In fact I seem to
remember some vendors products being touted as both market products.
