I have never done this myself but I recall my father did this type of work often.

He once explained to me the use of a matte piece of glass to cover a glossy photo or a page on a book. This served two purposes, one to flatten the page so is as parallel as possible to the film plane (in his case), and also eliminate any light reflections from glossy pages that may show on the final photo.

Careful framing with camera on a tripod, manual focus and exposure were used for this type of work.

Hope this helps some.
