As far as I can see, these are A3 scanners, and
will leave out a strip 1 cm wide from any cover. You can adjust/compensate or
just live with it, but I would not recommend them for archival work, as often
some interesting info will fall exactly into that strip (series number,
etc).
35x35 cm scanners do exist for specialized markets
but they are awfully big and expensive (I found them used to scan tile designs).
At this point the digicam options (with the caveat about light and distortion)
seems the most viable for me.

Go to eBay - search for "Epson Scanners." Scroll down that list
and you'll find someone selling the Epson Large Format Scanner (12"x17"),
model 836L, for $400 each. These are not auction items, but new, in-box
warrantied products. And he seemingly has a bunch of them.
If I had the
$$$ I'd buy one right now.
Good luck,
