No, I'm not saying that anybody should or shouldn't do anything. I have 
Bruce's book, I have read it, and it is very good and I learned a lot from 
it. But there is considerable disagreement among photographers over whether 
profiling of an input device (camera, scanner) is necessary. If profiling 
your scanner helps you get repeatable results, then you should do it. I 
haven't found it necessary. For me, it has been sufficient to profile my 
monitor and printers.
