Default How to do high resolution scans

I came across this pic in the image section and it was great, pose was great and everything, but it was so high quality... When I scan stuff from my pc it ends up looking like dog shit... but I have seen a couple high res photos around, just wondering how people do them.

If I was going to make an educated guess, I would say that to make HQ scans you need a great scanner and lots of disk space. I would assume the reason my scans look like shit, is because my scanner is shit.

Am I mistaken, is there some way for me to get the best out of my scanner, but I'm not doing it? Or do I just need a new scanner?

Another related but still offtopic question, how do people scan photobooks to put them on the internet? Do they destroy the book to make it? For example seperate the pages one by one (destroying the book), to get the best scans? How do those crazy guys do it?
