A close friend of mine had his copy of Book 3 - Worlds and Adventures destroyed. I was setting up the PDF to make him a replacement POD copy for him. And then I decided to see if I could "redo" the book by doing an OCR export and cleaning it up. Things went swimmingly fast until I hit my first table. But by then I was committed. So, I powered on and recreated Book 3 as best I could. As mentioned in my previous post, this is NOT a line for line match. That's a fool's errand. But it has all the original text, along with the errata, and each section is on the right page number, and each table is on the right page number. I am on my 4th proofread to correct errors, and I think I am just correcting formatting errors.
But in my experience, no level of personal proofreading ever catches all the typos in a document. So I'm looking for some volunteers than can prove they own a copy of Book 3 that would do some voluntary proofreading.
Once I am happy there are no typos or rule errors, I'll get a POD made.
My goal is to convert this to use open-source fonts when I am all done. If I can do that, then I could give this to Mongoose Publishing to replace the current scanned copy.
I have to proofread about 5 more pages, and then I'll be ready to share with volunteer proofreaders.
