Another idea is to scan at a fairly high resolution, maybe 3-400 dpi. Save that file, then open it with most any photo editing software. MS paint if you have windows, whatever comes with Apple if you don't. You should have some sort of image editor, they give them out with pretty much all devices -Scanner, camera, printer...........There's probably some free ones out there.
Once you've opened it in the image editor just crop away the white space.
The side by side images I've done I do pretty much like that except my scanner software lets me preview and scan just the bit I want. It has to be done through the scanner software, not by simply pushing the scan button on the machine (I've never used the button on either scanner I have)
I scan the front, scan the back, open both in paint, copy the front and paste it into a new blank image, copy and paste the back image alongside the front image, then crop it to just the front and back and save.
