The book already opens flat - it's been much abused, so that's easy, but pages are sewn in. I seem to have temporarily misplaced it, or else I could give you a page count. It does have about 10 illustrations. Font is not weird as far as I can recall.
It had been given as a good book for a christian boy to my father, when he was a kid, tells you all about foot binding and gathering tea leaves, and how weird it was to educate the girls...
That would be a quick scan, probably taking less than an hour=1 container TJ pralines.
I also have a friend who is very into information concerning women in Asian cultures, and she would probably love a scan of this book, if you don't mind my sharing it with her.
The page count is pretty easy to guesstimate, as most books fall into one of four categories: skinny book (most children's books or very simple how-to books; page size may be a little larger than the average page size but there aren't that many pages so ti still scans quickly) average novel size (200-350 pages) slightly larger than average size (400-500 pages, what I think of as Stephen King or fantasy epic size) TOME (coffeetable book size,, with very large pages that take a lot of wiggling to get onto my scanner) Actually, there is probably a fifth size: doorstop size (longer than average fantasy epic, but the pages are still a standard size, so two pages can still be fit on the scanner per single scan).
