Wouldn't that be fair use? Do you have issue with the content being posted, or the fact that it's scanned?

Quoting parts of the book to support some points made in the article would fall under fair use, but linking to a scan of the entire book would not.

Hosting a scan is not fair use, but linking to a copyright violation is not generally a copyright violation. Though a few courts have ruled that it can be if done for the specific purpose of knowingly disseminating illegal material. See http://www.chillingeffects.org/linking/faq.cgi#QID152 for more.

That's true, but the original point was 'poor form', which this likely falls under also.

It may not be illegal, but it's incredibly poor form.
