Well, from my recollection of the description, they scanned in the book
then OCR'ed the contents to come up with a first-cut set of sources.
They then compared the page and line checksums from the book with the
page and line checksums from their sources, and anything which still did
not match was checked ... presumably by reading the original ... and
corrected by hand.

There was a comment about most files' md5 checksums being wrong due to
space and tab mixups.

Nick.
