   I have done it with gimp. Load each page on a different layer, play with   
   transparency. It helps if you can write with ink or pencil a dot on the   
   virtual edge that shows on both scans. I had trouble that the scan of of   
   one edge was not equal (on the overlap region) to the scan of the other   
   edge. Ie, there was distortion. When I had both pages aligned (both   
   rotation and shift), I simply eliminated the transparency, and saved the   
   resulting photo.   
      
   However, for 250 pages, that's a tall order.   
      
   If no software solution is found, you need different hardware. A camera,   
   or a scanner that runs the document under a bar reader, as you say in   
   your last post.
