Lighting setup for photographing books

[Universal]

I would like to setup a small studio space for photographing books and printed matter for a design portfolio.

Ideally I would a background support system but initially looking a starter lighting setup. However I am unsure what the best type of lighting would be best.

I have been looking at Bowens and Elinchrom but would like some advice from the more experienced before purchasing. Should I be buying a continuous or flash system with a remote trigger?

I have been looking at the Elinchrom D-Lite 4 IT Studio 2 Go:

Any advice on models and kits would be very helpful.

Just noticed that there are replies to my thread, apologies for the delay in replying. They will will be for a design portfolio which will be used both in print and online.

As well as books, I would also be taking images of other printed material. Something similar to the following images –

I want to use a grey background so will need something to shoot on as well.

Thanks.

you dont need to go and buy expensive lights for this.

I have been looking at entry level kits. I need some lights to get consistent lighting between shoots. Desk lamps aren't suitable.
