So I assume fo "Ignition!" you did the OCR and then reading the text? The font set to Baskerville, and chemical formulas drawn as ASCII, with = and # as double and triple bonds - or there were better solutions?

People do translations of the book and it's usually highly appreciated by those who doesn't read English. Excellent book. The introduction by Asimov is also awesome.

The OCR text beneath the page image is there to make it easier to search. I used ABBYY FineReader for the OCR process. I didn't do any manual reviewing or correcting of the automatically generated OCR text. I ran additional scripted tools of my own to optimize the PDF that I generated from FineReader for small file size.
