I do a lot of original cataloging as we have an open account at Barnes & Noble. We 
do a lot of purchasing of uncataloged paperback books.

My eyesight isn't getting any better, and it seems that the barcodes on the back of 
the books are getting tinier year by year.

I am looking for a general barcode scanner that will read the barcodes on the back 
of books, so that I can input that barcode into Follett Destiny without typing it 
in. 

I tried our Follett Destiny barcode scanner, but it doesn't work. I am sure it is 
programmed only to ready certain barcodes.

Does anyone have any experience with a general barcode scanner, preferably 
reasonably priced, that will read the barcodes on the back of books?

Many thanks in advance.
