I am going to begin posting running a series of comments on books as i
svalidate them. Perhaps the general points i have made in past emails will
become clearer.
I have said that my experience validating lately leads me to think that
books tend to either be very very good scans, with few words needing
correcting and perhaps a diagram to be removed or poorer scans requiring a
lot of correcting. These poorer scans tend to have patterned errors, that
is, the same kind of error repeated throughout the book. These can be
cleaned with judicious use of find and replace where each example of a
replace is hand checked but this cleaning takes time.
The Honorable Company falls into the very good scan category. Thank you
Kenneth Cross who is the person I think who scanned it.
