They are called page or pen scanners.  Some slide down the page, others
require you to move the pen down the page.  Here is a sample link for these
products.

Subject: handheld or portable scanners


The following is posted for Matthew Rose who is having difficulty
posting this to the list
<snip>
Has anyone on the Listserv used any equipment that can scan a book by
turning pages. Rather than placing the book on a scanner? I have old
 minute books that not only can't I because of there condition, scan
them  on a conventional scanner, but I also have to scan them at there
location.
So I would need a portable , lightweight, scanner that can scan large
 book pages, store the data and upload it into a system for indexing
and storage.
