Place a matte black piece of paper over top of what you are scanning to reduce bleed through problems. It sounds counterintuitive but it works...

I've done that before and it does work. When doing this in color scanning, you can get a tint to the background. I've found that you can load the scanned page images into a paint program and then manipulate the brightness, contract and gamma settings to eliminate or lesson the background tint. It's a pain, but is doable. And the results can be quite good.
